Humanoid robots

It is not possible to register for the course BE3M33HRO if the student is concurrently registered for or has already completed the course B3M33HRO (mutually exclusive courses).

During a review of study plans, the course B3M33HRO can be substituted for the course BE3M33HRO.

In order to register for the course BE3M33HRO, the student must have registered for the course BEEZM no later than in the same semester.

It is not possible to register for the course BE3M33HRO if the student is concurrently registered for or has previously completed the course B3M33HRO (mutually exclusive courses).

Synopsis:

The course focuses on “human-centered robotics”: humanoid robots and human-robot interaction. Motivated by the vision of robot companions in our homes, this course introduces humanoid robot technology and its specific challenges and opportunities: (i) design, kinematics and inverse kinematics of humanoids, (ii) multimodal sensing - vision, touch, hearing, inertial sensing, etc., (iii) walking and balancing, and (ii) grasping. The second part of the course centers on human-robot interaction (HRI), which includes physical HRI (safety aspects, collaborative robots) and cognitive/social HRI - how to design robots and behaviors to be acceptable for people.

Requirements:

Ability to write computer programs in Python.

Recommended: Basic knowledge of robot kinematics.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Humanoidní roboti - motivace a historie.

2. Humanoidi - design, přímá a inverzní kinematika.

3. Humanoidi - diferenciální kinematika, inverzní dif. kinematika, singularity, manipulabilita, gaze control.

4.Ukázky v laboratoři.

5. Multimodální vnímání a autokalibrace.

6. Chůze a rovnováha.

7. Uchopování.

8. Interakce člověka s robotem - Úvod, fyzická interakce a sociální interakce.

9. Fyzická interakce I - Bezpečnostní normy. Monitorování rychlosti a vzdálenosti.

10. Fyzická interakce II - Omezení výkonu a síly.

11. Sociální interakce člověka s robotem I.

12. Sociální interakce člověka s robotem II.

13. Reaktivní řízení a plánování pohybu pro prostředí s lidmi.

14. Vtělená umělá inteligence, vývojová robotika.
