Humanoid Robot H7's Body Structure
Category: H7 H7 TOP

Research Summary

The H7 has six-axis force sensors in the soles of its feet that provide a parallel support mechanism, and it also has a degree of freedom in the tips of its feet. Its hands have a strong grasping ability that allows it to pick up a variety of objects.

The six-axis force sensors allow the H7's feet to still measure force even when presented with a strong impact, and it can accurately calculate a stability index while walking, as ZMP.

The extra degree of freedom in the H7's toe area enlarges the area of reverse kinematics in which the leg can move, meaning a broader step and a higher range of climbing.

The arms were remodeled in 2004, giving each seven degrees of freedom, and three degrees of freedom in each hand. The H7's hands can adeptly manipulate objects, such as dangling metal rods, and other tasks.
