DLR-Biped

DLR-Biped robot is part of the robotic project of DLR, which is developing a stable biped robotic platform. DLR-Biped is a borrowed technology from its previous DLR project, i.e., Justin’s Arms.

DLR-Biped robot platform allows a robot to climb stairs, walk on uneven grounds and balance itself even when pushed.

Within 10 months of developing, the biped-robot platform offers stability and flexibility with its 6 degrees of freedom and electromechanical leg actuators.

DLR-Biped robot has also torque-controlled joints for topnotch performance. The entire system of DLR-Biped robot weighs 50 Kilograms.

Features:

• Uses the combination of torque sensors, smooth drive gears and electronic actuators
• Has 6 degrees of freedom that denotes flexibility
• Motor strategically placed just below the knee for excellent ankle pitch axis performance
• Has 6-axis force/torque sensors for optimum performance
• With built-in inertia measuring device placed in its trunks
• Controlled by an onboard computer on its trunk
• Wireless communication capability through the use of a host PC
