Rollin' Justin - Mobile platform with variable base

Research on humanoid robots for use in servicing tasks, e.g. fetching and delivery, attracts steadily more interest. With “Rollin' Justin” a mobile robotic system and research platform is presented that allows sophisticated control algorithms and dexterous manipulation. This video gives an overview of the mobile humanoid robotic system “Rollin' Justin” with special emphasis on mechanical design features, control issues and high-level system capabilities such as human robot interaction.
