Perception for Humanoid Robots
Project Head: Takeo Kanade

We are developing real-time perception strategies that, combined with efficient planning and robust execution, enable humanoid robots to autonomously navigate, manipulate and interact in dynamic, unpredictably changing environments.

Our highly articulated humanoid platforms, such as Honda’s ASIMO and the AIST/Kawada HRP-2, present special research challenges in terms of the robustness, speed and accuracy required of the perception system. We seek to tackle these issues by employing novel sensors and computing paradigms, as well as by exploiting the unique locomotion capabilities of humanoids and the structure of their operating environments.
