Biomechanics of a humanoid robot
The design of the humanoid robot is inspired by human anatomy, which translates into a natural way of moving and high stability . Thanks to the use of industrial-grade cross-bearings and dual encoders, the robot precisely controls the position of each of its 23 joints . Each leg has 6 degrees of freedom , enabling stable walking and running, while advanced active stabilization algorithms prevent the robot from falling while interacting with its environment. The joints' range of motion, including knees of up to 165° , allows for complex movement sequences and research on locomotion and balance control. This allows the robot to be used both in laboratory environments and for technology demonstrations.
