Abstract: A humanoid robot that achieves stable walking based on servo control of a joint torque and a walking control method thereof. The humanoid robot calculates a joint position trajectory compensation value and a joint torque compensation value using a measurement value of a sensor, compensates for a joint position trajectory and a joint torque using the calculated compensation value, and drives a motor mounted to each joint according to the compensated joint torque.

Abstract: Disclosed are a walking robot and a method of controlling the same, in which impedance control and torso tilt control are achieved complementarily such that impedance can be adjusted according to the tilt of a torso or the tilt of the torso can be adjusted according to the impedance. The method includes measuring a moment of a foot; measuring a tilt of a torso; adjusting the scale of the measured moment based on the tilt of the torso, and controlling the foot based on the scale-adjusted moment; and adjusting the scale of the measured tilt based on a ZMP variation amount of the foot, and controlling the tilt of the torso based on the scale-adjusted ZMP variation amount.

Abstract: A robot and a method for planning a path of the robot. The method includes storing coordinates of a base cell in a queue structure, setting a plurality of cells adjacent to the base cell as scan cells, calculating a movement direction of the robot from the base cell to each of the scan cells, calculating movement cost of each of the scan cells according to the calculated movement direction, comparing the calculated movement cost and movement cost previously stored in each of the scan cells and determining whether or not coordinates of each of the scan cells are stored in the queue structure, and repeatedly performing a process of recording the movement direction and the movement cost in each of the scan cells and building a map of the movement space of the robot if the coordinates of each of the scan cells are stored in the queue structure.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for preparing ortho-dihydroxyisoflavones using a biotransformation system. More specifically, disclosed is a method for preparing ortho-dihydroxyisoflavones, which comprises biotransforming daidzein or genistein by actinomycete microorganisms, particularly Streptomyces avermitilis, Nocardia farcinica or Streptomyces lincolnesis, in order to efficiently prepare ortho-dihydroxyisoflavones having an excellent antioxidant function and a whitening effect.

Abstract: A method of controlling vibration of a moving system having driving and driven units includes measuring an acceleration of the driven unit, generating a nominal acceleration by subtracting gravity from the measured acceleration, generating a control driving force according to the nominal acceleration, the driving force having a direction opposite to that of the measured acceleration, and applying the control driving force to the driven unit.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of absorbing an impact generated when a foot of a walking robot lands on the ground to perform the walking of the walking robot. When the foot of the walking robot lands on the ground, an F/T sensor installed on the sole or the ankle of the foot measures external force and the posture of the sole of the foot is adjusted in a direction of complying with the external force, and thus an impact transmitted to the walking robot in landing is absorbed. Further, the posture adjusting speed of the sole of the foot is adjusted according to walking speeds (stopped, walking, running).

Abstract: A method of controlling walking a biped robot to generate a walking pattern maximally similar to that of a human includes generating a walking pattern, calculating a walking pattern similarity corresponding to the walking pattern, and comparing the walking pattern similarity with a predetermined reference pattern similarity, and changing the walking pattern based on a result of the comparison. When the robot walks, a knee is maximally stretched and a horizontal movement of a waist is minimized such that the walking pattern of the robot is maximally similar to that of a human, thus enhancing an affinity for a human being and increasing energy efficiency.
