Description:
Italian Institute of Technology, in collaboration with the University of Pisa in Italy developed a humanoid robot called WALK-MAN, within the European funded project WALKMAN (www.walk-man.eu). The project aims to develop a humanoid robot for disaster response operations. WALKMAN is an acronym for “Whole Body Adaptive Locomotion and Manipulation,” underlining its main research goal to enhance the capabilities of existing humanoid robots, permitting them to operate in emergency situations, while assisting or replacing humans in civil damaged sites including buildings, such as factories, offices and houses. In such scenarios, the WALK-MAN robot demonstrates human type locomotion, balance and manipulation capabilities.
