To resemble the appearance of human beings, humanoid robots should be designed with many DOFs, however, it increases the complexity of the mechanical design and the real-time control, which will make a high cost and have a poor reliability and will not fit for the application in museums or human's daily lives. In this paper, to enable the low cost and high reliability robot to interact with humans naturally and sever humans more friendly, we imported advanced technology of the Waseda's flute robot and retained the most important mechanical parts, such as the lip, lungs and the fingers for the flute playing, on this basis, some other mechanical structures were redesigned; particularly, the robot's appearance was carefully designed; in addition, we also redesigned the hardware structure using our own joint controllers and software system based on CAN bus communication for the cost saving and high reliability. The redesigned robot had just 16 DOFs. Preliminary performance test results showed that this new redesigned robot achieved in producing high quality of flute sound and high sound conversion efficiency, and the period of communication was about 4ms.

This paper presents the design and optimization method of near space intelligent target generator to simulate the physical characteristics of the near space vehicle. Combined with High Level Architecture distributed simulation technology, a common, repeatable and verified platform for the near space vehicle has been provided. This method used 3D modeling software Creator and 3D visual rendering software Vega, two-dimensional map and three-dimensional vision were constructed to form a simulation environment, which enhanced the authenticity of the simulation. Based on particle swarm optimization, the intelligent path planning study of near space vehicle was conducted in this environment to make up for the inadequate intelligence of traditional target generators.

For biped robot, friendly environment interaction makes sense. In this paper, a new method to plan the gait and control a biped robot on stairs with desired ZMP is proposed first. The desired ZMP derived from an iterative optimal algorithm not only has enough stability margin and satisfies actuator specifications, but also is available to implement and energy saving. Then, a controller with force sensing and variable impedance is proposed, which can sense and compensate the environmental disturbance well. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed methods is confirmed by simulation examples.

Distributed stereoscopic rotating formation control of networks of second-order agents is investigated. A distributed control protocol is proposed to enable all agents to form a stereoscopic formation and surround a common axis. Due to the existence of the rotating mode, the desired relative position between every two agents is time-varying, and a Lyapunov-based approach is employed to solve the rotating formation control problem. Finally, simulation results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
