MAHRU III Cartoonish

Biped humanoid robot Mahru III (150cm, 62Kg) developed in 2007. The ultimate goal of this project is to design biped humanoid robots connected to a wireless network environment so that they can be used in our daily life. Walking control algorithm is realized to make stable walking on an uneven floor possible. The experiments of the first phase shows that humanoid can walk at 1.3 km/h and overcome 1cm protrusions successfully.

The first biped humanoid robot platform we built with
KIST was called Mahru II(male) and Ahra II(female). The
platform designed and manufactured till November, 2005,
showed dancing performance in public, through cooperation
with KIST to integrate whole-body motion generation, visionbased
manipulation and face detection methods[12]. The name
“Mahru” and “Ahra”, determined by a survey of public opinion
done by MIC, originate from ancient Korean words for “top”
and “wisdom” respectively
