Abstract: The present disclosure provides an acceleration compensation method for a humanoid robot as well as an apparatus and a humanoid robot using the same. The method includes: calculating an angular acceleration of each joint and calculating a six-dimensional acceleration of a centroid of a connecting rod corresponding to the joint in an absolute world coordinate system, if the humanoid robot is in a single leg supporting state; calculating a torque required by the angular acceleration of each joint of the humanoid robot; determining a feedforward current value corresponding to the torque of each joint; and superimposing the feedforward current value on a control signal of each joint to control the humanoid robot. In this manner, the influence of the acceleration can be effectively suppressed, the rigidity of the PID controller of the humanoid robot can be reduced, thereby improving the stability of the entire humanoid robot.

Abstract: A mechanical arm includes a first link connectable to a surface, a second link, a third link, a fourth link, and a fifth link that are coupled to one another in series, and an end effector connectable to the fifth link. The end effector is rotatable about an axis of rotation same as an axis of rotation of the fourth link, and rotatable about an axis of rotation orthogonal to the axis of rotation of the fourth link. The first link, the second link, the third link, the fourth link, and the fifth link are collectively structured and configured to rotate such that the end effector is actuatable to a workspace under the surface.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to robot technology, which provides an object pose tracking method and apparatus. The method includes: obtaining an initial pose of the object, and determining a first viewing angle of an object with respect to a camera based on the initial pose; searching for a first 3D model corresponding to the first viewing angle; calculating a projected contour of an initial pose using the searched first 3D model, and obtaining feature point(s) of the projected contour; calculating a pose change amount based on the feature point(s) of the projected contour and feature point(s) of a real contour; and performing an iterative calculation on the pose change amount to obtain a pose correction amount, and obtaining a corrected pose of the object based on the pose correction amount. In the calculation process, the 3D model can be selected to improve the calculation speed by fewer feature points.
