English abstract:
Robotics can be regarded as a typical and representative part of Mechatronic, as a
cutting edge technology in this rapidly expanding research field. Hence on the tree of robotic
life, humanlike robots play a particularly valuable role.
This Paper deals with design of cost oriented teen sized humanoid robot Archie. It describes the
mechanical and electrical components and how action commands are transmitted from PC to
motion controller which controls each motor in joint via universal serial bus (USB) to Control
Area Network (CAN) bus converter. The mechanical structure has the following features: teen
sized, light weight, low power consumption, low cost.
The teen sized humanoid robot Archie is in development as a collaboration of Vienna University
of Technology, University of Manitoba in Canada and National Kaoshiung First University for
Science and Technology in Taiwan. Main goal is to develop a cost oriented autonomous
humanoid robot to assist human in daily life tasks.
