 Technical Tour (HUBO Lab at KAIST) |
The Humanoid robot research center (HUBO Lab) was founded at KAIST in 1985. Since then, 19 Ph.D and 43 M.S have been graduated from MCLAB. Now, 7 Ph.D students, 7 M.S students are doing research. The major research topics are divided into 2 categories. One is related to Control theories, and the other is related to experiments. In the control theory area, we research on optimal control, neural network, fuzzy control, and sliding mode control. In the experimental field, we research on robot control such as a quadruped walking robot, the interface of sensors and systems, the design of controllers and observers. |

| Introduction of Albert HUBO |
 |
Albert HUBO is an android robot. It is composed of a head, which takes after Dr. Albert Einstein, and HUBO's body. The development period took about 3 months, and it had been finished at November, 2005. The head part was developed by Hanson-Robotics. Its skin is a special material, Frubber, often used at Hollywood.
The head has 35 joints, so it can impersonate various facial expressions using independent movements of eyes and lips. It has 2 CCD cameras to do vision recognition. Also, the body of Albert HUBO can perform all the HUBO's performances, so it is possible to express more natural feature and movements. In the body, there are lithium polymer batteries which can get about 2 and half hours of the operating time. |
By using remote network, it is possible to access the Albert HUBO from an external computer. Albert HUBO was announced first at 2005 APEC Summit in Busan, Korea. It was praised from many world leaders, such as the USA president, the Japanese Prime Minister and so on.
