Robotics

Project description

The project team has built a complex technological concept which solves the problem of humanoid robot stability.The introduction of the proposed stability technology will allow creating a robotic mannequin capable of independent natural movement in a limited space of a showcase or showroom, imitating the behavior of a model on a catwalk demonstrating items of clothing or accessories.

 

At the same time, the behavior of such a model is set by a set of parameters in a wide range, depending on the needs. Thus, a robotic mannequin with dynamic stability becomes capable of a full display of clothes 24/7, as well as a special attraction of the interest of the public and a significant reduction in costs compared to using live models.

 

A unique control system based on the original architecture of the neural network, which will allow to form stable movements in an unfamiliar environment. The mathematical model demonstrated the success of solving the most difficult problem: stable control in the ballistic phase of the jump.
 

The bionic principle of reciprocation (muscle interaction) has a significant impact on the efficiency of building motor but requires the introduction of a special drive – a fast and strong muscle with autonomous energy supply. The concept of such a drive developed by the team has a scientific and technological novelty.

The competitive advantage
a: Dynamic fall resistance through neural network control
b: Unique freewheel drive system for smooth movement
c: Low power consumption and cost compared to alternatives
d: User-friendly UI/UX with intuitive control patterns
e: Affordable compared to other humanoid robots
f: Customizable appearance
g: Simple and reliable design for long service life
h: Low repair and maintenance costs
Project status:
Total investment: USD 116.2 m
Project stage: Pre-development

The anthropomorphic environment imposes special requirements on the reliability of a robot capable of interacting with it. In general, modern advances in robotics have long been able to impress anyone, however in anthropomorphic (humanoid) robotics with autonomous control there are a number of unresolved problems that prevent their implementation in everyday life. The first of these problems is the autonomous provision of dynamic stability – meaning the robots built with the current technology tend to fall over rather easily.

Current technology available on the market

The most notable competitors and the technology used:
 
Xaiomi, CyberOne
• Description: Mechanical (electrical) joints.
• Markets: China
 
Tesla, Optimus

Boston Dynamics
• Strengths: Agility, balance, and mobility.
• Products: Spot (navigation), Handle (transportation), Atlas (R&D).
• Uses: No focus – wide range of applications.
• Markets: USA

With a few exceptions, the existing designs of anthropomorphic robots use an electric drive, which, together with a gearbox, is placed in the joints. Such an arrangement of power units also determines the principle of building movements: they must be as smooth as possible in order to avoid uncontrolled oscillatory processes of the body. In addition, it is necessary to reduce the center of mass as much as possible, which forces the structure to walk carefully on “bent legs”.
 
This approach is extremely difficult for a robot to build natural movements in an autonomous mode, since it has a number of physical limitations associated with the need for a fundamental simplification of motor acts.
