teams darwin and charli from the robotics and mechanisms laboratory ( romela ) are the first u . s . groups to win the adult - size and kid - size classes , taking home bragging rights along with the louis vuitton humanoid cup , a prestigious crystal trophy that was held by germany and japan in the past .
if the darwin family of robots increases the number of students majoring in computer science and engineering , even as it helps us design humanoid robots that better embody the capabilities of human beings , then all of our goals will be met . together , we are creating a truly exciting enabling infrastructure for humanoid research , education and outreach .
the university of manitoba ' s 2014 entry in the icra darwin - op humanoid application challenge , featuring jeff on the bicycle . following on our last two presentations ( see below for links ) we continue to look at novel applications for humanoid balancing . this year we are looking at the problem of riding a bicycle . the robot uses inverse kinematics to calculate the positions of its arms and legs to allow it to pedal and steer . because the hands must remain on the handlebar and the feet are in constant motion we have very minimal degrees of freedom available for balancing . recorded at the university of manitoba ' s autonomous agents laboratory , march 2014 . music :

the framework that the team proposed for the competition provides a case - based reasoning approach to robot learning , a human reasoning methodology that retrieves the solutions of problems observed in the past , and reuses the solutions to respond to emerging similar problems . researchers using the framework can model their own task as tablet apps and configure the framework settings to teach the task to their robots . the framework provides tools for modeling the task policy through training the parameters for case - retrieval function that maximizes the rewards . during the demonstration , the team’s robot , angry darwin , was able to quickly learn the strategies to solve each level of angry birds after less than three or four demonstrations from the teacher . angry darwin not only learns to play the game , but also picks up verbal and emotional behaviors that the human teacher demonstrates . the robot then converts the learned emotions into his own verbal and gestural primitives that merge with his task behavior . the team anticipates using angry darwin as a mediator to research how social interaction emerges during human - robot interaction .
what really makes the difference is the advanced computational power of robotis op2 : 4 times more ram memory , a 32 gb storage capacity versus 4 gb for the previous version , extra fast data transfer , and support for all linux and windows ( 32 - bit ) products while robotis op could only communicate with linux . rest assured , robotis keeps improving its little man via an open platform , both in terms of software and hardware !
the first part of my summer research project . i can control the steps darwin makes on my dance pad . the next step is incorporating vision . edit : i ' m an undergrad at purdue university and my summer research project is an reu funded by nsf . thanks to professor lu , professor lee and professor koh . thanks to the grad students in the lab andy park and rami alazrai .
our experience using the darwin under competition conditions gave us insight into the limitations of the stock framework and ideas on how to improve it . specifically , the built - in vision system was very primitive and ill - suited for the rigors of competition , there was no forward - or inverse - kinematics modules to control the motion of the limbs in three - dimensional space , and the build scripts were not designed with a standard linux file structure in mind .
at the moment , darwin relies on a balancing bar for stability and to enable faster moves , but you hardcore ddr players should be familiar with the safety bar on the arcade machines that could be used ( by crafty humans ) for essentially the same purpose . in the works is tuning the robot ' s vision system to allow it to play ddr for real , and bar - free stability may come after that . is anyone else thinking that robot ddr would make a great new robogames event ? no ? just me ? oh .
in this paper a new robot is presented which was designed especially for robocup soccer . it is an approach to evolve from the standard darwin based skeleton towards a robot with more human motion capabilities . many new features were added to the robot to adapt it for the special requirements of robocup soccer . therefore , the interaction possibilities with the robot were improved and it has now more degrees of freedom to easier grip a ball and balance itself while walking . the design is open source , thus allowing other teams to easily use it and to encourage further development . furthermore , nearly all parts can be produced with a standard 3d printer .
dr . howard and her students are affiliated with the school of electrical and computer engineering ( ece ) at georgia tech . their team , dubbed as “angry darwin : framework for human - robot task collaboration on a shared tablet workspace , ” demonstrated their robot learning from a human demonstrator how to play a game of angry birds . based on ms . park’s ph . d . thesis work , “task learning policies for collaborative task solving in human - robot interaction , ” the key elements to long - term engagement during human - robot interaction are the robot’s capability to learn and engage in new tasks through human demonstration and a defined workspace that provides content that both the human and robot participants can use and enjoy .
the darwin series of humanoid robots started in 2004 and has evolved through four generations . it was the very first humanoid platform from the usa to qualify for competition at robocup and has been on at least three magazine covers . about two years ago , we started to receive a growing number of requests from research laboratories and universities who wanted to use this kind of research humanoid platform for research , education and outreach activities . based on this growing interest , we wrote an nsf research and development proposal that was approved and funded , and this then became a serious r & d project for romela and our partners . ultimately , the humanoid robotics research and educational community across our nation and world are sure to grow , owing to this fantastic new platform .

in the not - too - distant future , your afterwork routine might go something like this : walk in the door . note that a robot is vacuuming the living room while another is washing the kitchen floor and another is folding laundry . your robot butler slides into view . after a quick update on the day ' s events , it asks what you want for dinner and cues up your favorite music .
of course this scenario has been in the not - too - distant future for decades , well before tv ' s jetsons and their robot maid , rosie , were the rage of 1962 . it has never been practical , particularly in the u . s . , which tends to be skeptical of personal robots . but a flurry of factors , including the rise of open - source robotics , increased government support and media - savvy evangelists are bringing the
autonomous home
closer to reality .
the face of this latest robot revolution is dennis hong , a mechanical engineering professor from virginia polytechnic institute & state university . hong ' s romela ( robotics & mechanisms laboratory ) research lab has developed 20 kinds of robots over the past seven years . they resemble everything from snakes to spiders to iron man . hong , who performs magic as a hobby , is a natural showman . armed with his robot props and videoclips , he thrills audiences with creatures that crawl over rocky terrain , scale poles , type on keyboards , introduce themselves and play soccer . hong has won invitations to appear at the ted conference , new york ' s american museum of natural history and on the discovery channel .
a few years ago hong ' s ambition to humanize robots might have been dismissed . following the emergence of the first commercially successful robots in the 1960s and 1970s , government support dwindled . the computing components needed to create rosie - type robots weren ' t available . every external research proposal hong wrote during his first two years at virginia tech got rejected .
then came a 2006 national science foundation - sponsored study that declared the u . s . embarrassingly behind asia in humanoid robots . since then hong has amassed $ 5 million in grants from the defense advanced research projects agency ( darpa ) , nsf and office of naval research .
demographic shifts are playing a role , too . colin angle , chief executive of irobot , the maker of the roomba vacuuming robot , expects robotics to eventually become a
triple - digit billion - dollar
business , in part because of the growing need for affordable , in - home health care .
this is an industry on the move . increasingly important business plans , ideas and concepts are being tested out ,
says angle .
in a break from earlier robotics , much of this testing is taking place on open - source hardware and software so more innovators can play a role . irobot designed ava , a customizable robot with a tablet computer
head
and a wheeled - column body , to serve as a development platform for robotics , like linux for computers .
ava ' s
brain
consists of either a google android tablet or an ipad . angle , who sees potential for home security and medical reminder apps , as well as downloadable personalities , says ,
a huge community could create apps that add utility to ava .
ava will join pr2 , a human - size robot that silicon valley company willow garage introduced in 2010 . the dual - armed , wheeled pr2 is powered by ros , an open - source robot operating system willow garage has distributed free since 2007 . the closely held firm has donated 11 pr2s to institutions around the world and sold 5 , and wants to encourage app development . one early program from uc , berkeley taught the robot to fold socks and towels .
willow garage chief executive steve cousins sees a parallel to the early days of the pc industry .
in the late 1970s you had the homebrew computer club ,
he says .
today it ' s the homebrew robotics club .
future pr2s could be employed in service industries and home health care .
hong ' s lab in virginia recently designed an 18 - inch - tall humanoid that can be built in a few days with standard parts , including a 1 . 6 gigahertz intel atom processor , gyroscope and accelerometer for stabilization and 2 - megapixel camera for object recognition . a ready - made version costs $ 12 , 000 , a bargain compared with the fortunes typically spent on research robots . ( willow garage ' s pr2 costs $ 280 , 000 to $ 400 , 000 . )
romela ' s bigger bot , the 5 - foot - tall charli ( cognitive humanoid autonomous robot with learning intelligence ) is a stylistic mix of iron man and the sleek
ns - 5
bots from sci - fi ' s i , robot . when charli took its initial steps last march it was hailed as the u . s . ' first untethered full - size walking humanoid robot . lighter , safer and more affordable versions are underway that will be suited for housework and caring for the elderly and disabled .
