Abstract
Badminton needs dynamic and high speed motion, so previous humanoid robots were difficult to perform like human. For entertaining or training humanoid badminton robot in the future, we propose new robot arm which consists of structure integrated pneumatic cable cylinder and noninterfering many DoFs joints. We made a real robot arm with high acceleration and high speed wrist and conducted some performance evaluation test. Pronation joint achieved 32.4rad/s in 90 deg, which surpasses human wrist speed in badminton smash. It has also good reproducibility for dynamic feed-forward control or learning control. We also make it hit actual shuttle, and shuttle's initial velocity achieved 28m/s by full swing. And it succeeded skillful shot, spin hairpin, by utilizing the humanlike wrist. This research is the first step toward humanoid badminton robot.
