Intelligent Machines are Coming • Social Robots, smarter via Integration, • Inspired by systems biology, wherein the whole is greater than sum of parts • Multimodal data fusion of • Speech, • Natural language, • Vision: face, gesture, objects • Cognitive Architectures • Theory of Mind • Dynamic Modeling • Physical Interaction with the world: • Bipedal locomotion, Manipulation • Navigation, mapping • Expressive hardware, mfg process • Adoption of the Humanlike form • We are naturally attracted to faces and gestures • Much more sensitive to Human Faces and gestures
29 active degrees of freedom (DOF) • Two 6 DOF force controlled arms using Series Elastic Actuators • Two 6 DOF force controlled hands using SEAs • A 2 DOF force controlled neck using SEAs • Stereo pair of Point Grey Firewire CCD cameras • Stereo Videre STH-DCSG-VAR-C Firewire cameras • Intersense 3 axis gyroscope • Two 4 DOF hands using Force Sensing Compliant (FSC) actuators • Embedded brushless and brushed DC motor drivers • 5 Embedded Motorola 56F807 DSPs running a 1khz control loop • 4 CANBus channels providing 100hz communication to external computation. • 49 potentiometers, 7 encoders, 24 tactile sensors, 12 brushless amplifiers, 17 brushed amplifiers, 12 sensor conditioners embedded on-board • An estimated 500 fabricated mechanical components and 60 electronics PCBs • 12 node Debian Linux cluster running a mixture of C/C++/Python and utilizing the Yarp and pysense robot libraries. • Weight: 42lbs.
