Humanoid Robots
CURI Robot
The Collaborative Dual-arm Robot Manipulator (CURI) is the prime research platform developed in our lab. The hardware of CURI consists of four parts: a head, two arms, a torso, and a mobile chassis:
- Head: the mellow head is embedded with an RGB-D camera for perception.
- Arms: two arms are able to interact and collaborate with human compliant with high-sensitivity force control capability.
- Torso: the self-designed torso with a payload of 80 kg can achieve 3-DoF translational motion and rotation.
- Mobile chassis: the mobile platform with a payload of 250 kg can navigate omnidirectionally with a laser scanner.
