ROBOT, ITS FACIAL EXPRESSION METHOD AND DETECTING METHOD FOR STEP DIFFERENCE AND LIFTING-UP STATE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a quick motion by a real time data control using a serial bus to an interface between inside components.;SOLUTION: This robot comprises: an I/F board 4 which sends/receives a signal to/from an external device; a leg board 6 which controls a leg; a sensor board 7 which receives a signal from a sensor detecting an obstruction; an ear board 8 which carries out a processing of a signal from a microphone; a wireless board 9 which sends/receives the signal to/from the external board via a wireless communication; and an eye board 3 which receives a signal from a camera, and further includes a central processing unit 5 which control these boards. The leg board 6, the sensor board 7, the wireless board 9 and the central processing unit 5 are connected to one another by USB interfaces a to d and f to i, and the eye board 3 and the central processing unit 5 are connected to each other by an IEEE1394 interface e.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2002,JPO
