Abstract

See full text

A system and method for controlling a humanoid robot from a remote location are provided. One or more sensing devices are used to sense positions and movements of a user at an inhabiter station. A computing device generates a virtual character based upon the sensed positions and movements of the user and provides a plurality of outputs for controlling the humanoid robot based upon motion of the virtual character. The computing device includes a master controller to generate the virtual character and its behaviors and to transmit instructions to control motion of the humanoid robot to a slave controller located at the humanoid robot, providing smooth and natural motion of the humanoid robot. The method permits switching between multiple virtual characters in a single scene to control and alter the behavior of one or more humanoid robots located in several geographic locations.
