Abstract :
This paper describes our latest humanoid social robots HR-1 and HR-2. The robots HR-1 and HR2 provide a mechanically sound platform, with on-board computer vision and other sensors. The robots have similar upper body structure, both with different locomotion system, HR-1 has a mobile platform and HR-2 is a biped robot. The paper also presents the control architecture and the software architecture of both robots. Finally, there is a discussion of the robot performance during a three-day exhibition.
