Background Simulations for Mini-Hubo in Virtual
Environment Humanoid Manipulation Challenge CAD Design
Background
Trip to South Korea -KAIST -ROBOTIS -ETRI -DGIST -KIST -Hanyang University
Co-op at National Instruments
Objectives:
-Enable NI Software to work with Darwin-OP
-Develop walking algorithms and programs that the Darwin-OP can use
Co-op at National Instruments
Motivations:
-Learn and educate others about the PIRE Project and its goals
-Get to work with industry/corporations to develop humanoid research
-Get a “real-world” approach to project
-Work with a platform based off of the Mini-Hubo project
-Use PIRE research to help create this new product
Co-op at National Instruments
Approach
This image shows a LabVIEW program developed at National Instruments to control the Robotis RX-28 Dynamixel actuators.
A LabVIEW code developed that allows multiple motors to run automatically based on the function of a sine wave.
Approach
An image of a LabVIEW program that can control position of the new MX-28 Dynamixel Actuators.
Approach
4-Pin Readout (RX-28) vs.3-Pin Readout(MX-28)
300 Degrees Rotation(RX-28) vs. 360 Degrees Rotation(MX-28)
Main Differences Between RX-28 and MX-28
Approach
Communication to Darwin-OP
Results
One of the subVI’s used to control the position of the motors at one point in time
Getting the Darwin-OP to Work in LabVIEW
Results
A sample of the code used to get the Darwin-OP to work with a game console
Communication lines with the sub-controller
Take already made code and port over to internal system
Generate autonomous control (compared to game console control)
Current Work On Darwin-OP
