3 Our Experiment: A humanoid robot controls quad rotor helicopter Posted by Masafumi Miwa on February 1, 2013 at 10:00pm At first, we tried principle experiment with 1-axis arm robot. Next, we tried principle experiment with 2-axes arm robot. This is our latest experiment with humanoid robot. E-mail me when people leave their comments – Follow

I added IR LED on ther humanoid robot as remote controller for motion.
It is controlled 2nd APM2.5 as IR transmitter.
Also I prepared new quad rotor, Zion Pro 520.
We tried test flight in outdoor field (in our university).
So a robot humanoid riding a robot hoverboard? Well that sounds like back to the future for sure! :)
Hi, all.
Thank you for comments.
I tried alt_hold mode with humanoid robot, but the quad rotor helicopter became unstable.
I think the reason of this is that the humanoid robot is too heavy for the test quad rotor.
So, I controled only altitude by manual during the experiment.
I'll try with other powerful quad rotor hellicopter in next week.
In this station of your research, the altitude commands are they given by the humanoid, too? So, the quad has only to level? Make her/him a wired black basket, looks much cooler ... btw. nice project.
I love the humanoid robot in the basket!
One of this reserach purpose is to realize "Hoverboard" like in "Back to the future" driven by weight shifting.
What is the purpose of this research? I don't understand what you're doing. Using a robotic mass to make a quadcopter move?
They invest an amazing amount in the humanoid robot art, but nothing in robots for nuclear power plant inspection.
Yeah sure the little T-101 can fly a quad, but can he stop Skynet? Just kidding, that must have taken a lot of work.
