Albert HUBO.

HUBO is a humanoid robot developed at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. The first HUBO, KHR-3, was the culmination of 4 years of research based on three earlier prototypes, KHR-0, 1, and 2, and it was officially unveiled to the public in January 6 of 2005.[1] KHR-3 is physically similar to Honda's ASIMO, weighing 56 kg and standing at a height of 125 cm.[2] Albert HUBO is the second and latest HUBO that features an artificial head of Albert Einstein in place of the previous design resembling a CRT monitor. The name HUBO is short for humanoid robot.[3]

Development History

The first HUBO was developed by mechanical engineering professor Oh Junho and his Ph.D. student team over the course of about 20 years. During much of this time, the HUBO was developed lightly in an amateur approach that resulted in a very low development cost of about $500,000. (In comparison, Honda had spent $300 million on its ASIMO at the time of the KHR-3's completion.)[4]

KHR-0 (KAIST Humanoid Robot) was built in 2001 for the purpose of investigating the specifications of actuators (device that receives electric signal and performs mechanical action), such as power, torque, and speed, and the optimal weight and size of a humanoid robot.[5] It essentially consisted of two legs without an upper body.[6]

Harmonic drive.

The KHR-1 was completed in January of 2002 with the goal of demonstrating autonomous bipedal walking that involves real-time motion control through sensory feedback. (This is different from bipedal walking as a playback motion obtained from an offline learning process, and also walking with partial online adjustments.) The humanoid design included most of the human body parts with exception of the head and the hands, and its size was child-like and practical, with a standing height of 119 cm. Carrying 48 kg in weight, it could walk at 0.8km/hr and make right turns.[5][7][8]

To simulate autonomous walking, the prototype was not linked externally, and instead it operated from internal batteries with low level of consumption. It had 22 DOFs (degrees of freedom) - 12 for the lower limbs, 8 for the arms, and 2 for the waist. The DOFs of the different axes in the joints of shoulders, waist, hips, and ankles were merged into intersections in order to attain a simple, closed-form solution (that is comprised of well-known mathematical functions) of inverse kinematics, the computation of the robot's movements. All the joints were built with harmonic drives for zero backlash and light, compact design. The KHR-1's walking movement was based on the Zero Moment Point trajectory (points of contact on the ground where the total moment of inertia of the active forces equals to 0) predicted based on a simple model of the robot.[5][8]

The KHR-2 was begun in early 2003 and was complete by the beginning of 2004.[9]
