  • Publication number: 20090146600
    Abstract: An intelligent foot of a humanoid robot, which enables the robot to safely walk in balance even on the irregular ground, is disclosed. The walking robot's foot includes a backpart unit with a leg which is rotatably installed at the center thereof, and a forepart unit which is rotatably connected to the front of the backpart unit by a foot part connector, wherein 6-axis force/moment sensors are installed on the bottom of the backpart unit and the bottom of the forepart unit, respectively. Further, walking robot's foot includes a backpart unit with a leg which is rotatably installed at the center thereof, and at least two toes which are rotatably connected to the front of the backpart unit by foot part connectors, wherein a 6-axis force/moment sensor is installed on the bottom of the backpart unit, and short shaft sensors are installed on the bottom of the toes.
