Abstract
This paper introduces a cost effective humanoid robot platform with a cluster of 5 ARM processors that allow it to operate autonomously. The robot has an optical foot pressure sensor and grippers all compatible with a Robotis Bioloid. The paper also presents a kinematic model of the robot. Furthermore we describe how the robot uses a complementary filter which combines accelerometers and gyroscope readings to get a stable tilt angle.
