ICub

ICub

The iCub is a small-size humanoid robot being designed by the RobotCub Consortium, consisting of several European universities. The main goal of this platform is to study cognition through the implementation of biological motivated algorithms. This is an open project in many different ways: it will distribute its platform openly and it will develop software open-source.

Specifications

The dimensions of the iCub are similar to that of a 3.5 year old child.

iCub, in its final version, will have 54 degrees of freedom organized as follows:
* 7 for each arm
* 9 for each hand
* 6 for the head
* 3 for the torso and spine
* 6 for each leg

Capabilities

* Crawling.
* Basic visual processing primitives.
* Low-level oculomotor control, visual, inertial and proprioceptive sensors.
* Dextrous manipulation.
