The development of Honda humanoid robot
This paper describes the mechanical design and control systems of the ASIMO robot, one of the first commercially successful humanoids.
The authors detail the structure, joints, electric actuators, force sensors, and central control system, emphasizing lightweight construction and strength.
ASIMO achieved stable walking, stair climbing, and even running, demonstrating that careful mechanical design combined with proper control can produce human-like performance.
ASIMO was extremely expensive and limited to structured environments; its speed and power were insufficient for heavy service tasks.
ASIMO's design principles have inspired many subsequent humanoids. In the humanoid service robot project, the mechanical principles (mass distribution, actuator selection) are useful for creating a robust walking platform.
