title: Walking Humanoids for Robotics Research creator: Wolff, Krister creator: Nordin, Peter subject: Artificial Intelligence subject: Robotics description: We present three humanoid robots aimed as platforms for research in robotics, and cognitive development in robotics systems. The 'priscilla' robot is a 180cm full scale humanoid, and the mid-size prototype is called 'elvis' and is about 70cm tall. The smallest size humanoid is the 'elvina' type, about 28 cm tall. Two instances of 'elvina' have been built to enable experiments with cooperating humanoids. The underlying ideas and conceptual principles, such as anthropomorphism, embodiment, and mechanisms for learning and adaptivity are introduced as well. publisher: Lund University Cognitive Studies contributor: Prince, Christopher G. contributor: Demiris, Yiannis contributor: Marom, Yuval contributor: Kozima, Hideki contributor: Balkenius, Christian date: 2002 type: Conference Poster type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/2533/1/Wolff.pdf identifier: Wolff, Krister and Nordin, Peter (2002) Walking Humanoids for Robotics Research.
