English abstract:
Currently there are three categories of humanoid robots available:
Professional humanoid robots developed by large companies with a huge
amount of research resources. They are expensive and not available on the
market. Research humanoid robots: The robots in this category are usually
prototypes developed by scientists to implement and test new ideas. Humanoid
"Toy" robots: There are a lot of humanoid toy robots, mostly developed by
small or medium sized companies, available on the market. Usually they have
extremely limited capabilities in hard- as well as in software. Because of these
facts in this paper a new fourth category - cost oriented humanoid robots
(COHR) are introduced. These robots will be able to support humans in
everyday life e.g on the working place, in the household, in leisure and
entertainment, and should be available on the market for a reasonable price.
Keywords:
Humanoid robots, Cost oriented robots, Mechanical Design, Control concepts.
