MiniHUBO (Miniature Humanoid Robot) is capable of walking. Developed at the Robotics & Mechanisms Laboratory (RoMeLa) at Virginia Tech, DARwIn is a research platform for studying robot locomotion and autonomous behaviors, and also the base platform for Virginia Tech’s entry to the RoboCup competition.

Mechanical Goals and Objectives

DARwIn is a research platform for studying robot locomotion and is also the base platform for Virginia Tech’s entry to the RoboCup Competition. In this research, we study the issues of mechanical design, kinematics, dynamic bipedal gaits, ZMP control, vision tracking, and complex autonomous behaviors needed for playing soccer.
