The HOAP series robots are an advanced humanoid robot platform. HOAP is an abbreviation for "Humanoid for Open Architecture Platform." HOAP was designed for wide application in research and development of robotic technologies. Weighing 6kg and standing 48cm tall, the light and compact HOAP-1 and its accompanying simulation software can be used for developing motion control algorithms in areas such as two-legged walking and in research on human-to-robot communication interfaces. Fujitsu is disclosing HOAP-1’s internal interface architecture to allow users to freely develop their own programs. The robot's basic simulation software enables virtual trial-runs of their control programs prior to actual implementation. The wide range of uses as well as the safe and efficient program development environment make HOAP-1 an ideal tool for research and development work in robotics. The basic simulation software and user-developed programs are designed to run on RT-Linux on an operating command PC, which communicates with the robot through a USB interface. The robot's internal sensors and actuators (motors) also use the USB interface and can be easily expanded according to your needs. HOAP-3 is a new model with strengthened cooperation functions with the external world, such as communication and image recognition functions. Since the sale of the first HOAP-1 in 2001, the HOAP Series Humanoid Robots have targeted the mechanical engineering departments of universities as well as robotics research areas, particularly in the field of controls engineering for research and development. The HOAP-3 is portable, measuring only 60cm in height and weighing a mere 8.8 kg, the same as its predecessor, the HOAP-2 which has been on the market since 2003. HOAP-3 was developed with strengthened cooperation functions such as a communication function, an image recognition function and a new exterior. HOAP-3 can be used for robot communication research, such as a dialog with humans. Research and development performed on the robot include collaborative vision and operation functions through an added camera, microphone, speaker, LED for expression, and vocals.
