The bioloid robot climbs a freely configurable wall, this is NOT a predefinded motion sequence. It is part of an autonomous system that first looks for possible ways up (according to the abilities of the robot and to physical constraints) and after placing the robot at the start position of the chosen path the robots climbs up just by knowing the x/y-positions of the grips.
The final scenario will be a bioloid looking at the wall using an onboard vision system, detecting marked grips, calculating the best way up, walking to the start position and climbing up the wall, totally autonomously.
My part so far was developing a motion planning system which is a simulation of the real wall that calculates possible paths and developing a motion control system based on inverse kinematics so that now you can send a command like "left hand position 250/175" and the robot is hooking its new climbing hook-hand into a grip being at this position. (I made new hook-hands and climbing feet to make the robot able to climb, too)
See the other videos showing the accuracy of the inverse kinematics and explaining more details.
This is part of a university cooperation project done by Marco Wickrath.

  • so great, i am a lecture of Hanoi university of science and technology , VietNam

    can you give me your email.

    I have some question about humanoid climbing robots want to ask you.

    Thanks

  • @anhdungbk You can send me a private message or your email address via the YouTube messaging system. Just go to my channel and click on 'send message'.

  • What is the fastest it can climb without losing critical accuracy?

  • @DaveLowe28 check part 2 - the kinematics video, 2nd half, that's the fastest, kinematics works with that speed, climbing has only been tested with one speed

  • Brilliant! Do you have a website with more technical info?

  • @taylorveltrop: I will upload another video showing more details

see all

  • lmao this is awesome, now i can hire a robot to carry all my heavy shit when i go rock climbing

  • awesome now this can go a kill the douche bag mountain climbers

  • Wtf is that slow motion

  • Now the question is...Can it get back down?

  • Great now they know how to scale buildings when they take over the world! good job mate!

  • This is amazing, one day youll be hired to build a full size one.

  • hey, I am currently working on bioloid kit and i was wondering if you could give me the behaviour and/or motion programme code you used cos its really kl what youve done.??

    thanks
