Abstract

About human capability, running is not faster than leopards, force is not stronger than elephants, and son on. But compared with total capability, human is the best in the world. Therefore, HuroCup league in FIRA (Federation International Robotics Association) aims at design of humanoid robot for a full capability like human. Until FIRA2010 in Korea, HuroCup organizes eight events including Sprint, Penalty Kick, Basketball, Weight Lifting, Obstacle Run, Lift and Carry, Marathon, and Wall Climbing [4]. All of the teams pursue to have a full capability humanoid robot under the roadmap of HuroCup league. In this paper, the Humanoid robot designed by the team from National Kaohsiung First University of Science and Technology (NKFUST) is described. NKFUST team got the second place of FIRA 2010 HuroCup in Korea. The running of HuroCup competition is also included.
