Abstract

This paper presents the work done in the modular-joint design of a teen-size bipedal humanoid robot. Due to this modular-joint design approach, the robot is able to be modelled as a point-mass system without considering its links’ inertia, this is a novelty approach to improve the kinematics and dynamic modelling of the robot, for test-bedding and simulation of various control algorithms. The robot is a cost effective platform which is suitable for both edutainment and engineering research purposes. The TPinokio humanoid robot has a height of around 1.5 meter, and weight around 58 kg. This paper is focused mainly on the robot’s mechanical structure and electronics design. The robot’s kinematics with point-mass distribution characteristics and it’s control approach are briefly discussed.
