Abstract:
In this paper, laboratory experiments of LARMbot torso V1 are reported in the third mode, thereby providing a testing characterization. Sensors were used to measure parameters including the contact force between the shoulder and cables, linear acceleration, angles of the torso body, and power consumption. The results showed that the LARMbot torso V1 can bend successfully to the desired angles, and that it is able to complete a full motion smoothly. The LARMbot torso V1 can mimic human-like motiaons. Based on our analysis of the test results, improvements are suggested, and new designs are considered.
