This prototype serves as a practical testbed for integrating multimodal AI modules—specifically gesture recognition, object detection, and LLM-based semantic parsing—into humanoid robotics. By leveraging an onboard Jetson module for real-time inference, the system demonstrates high task accuracy (over 90%) while providing a reproducible hardware foundation for advancing human-robot interaction research.
Development of a Humanoid Robot Prototype for Multimodal Human-Robot Interaction
arXiv:2609.05361v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Human-robot interaction (HRI) enables intuitive and intelligent collaboration between humans and robots in real-world environments. This paper introduces a humanoid robot prototype designed as a flexible testbed for developing and integrating artificial intelligence (AI) modules in HRI tasks. The system features a 12 degree-of-freedom (DOFs) dual-arm mechanism and a 2 DOFs head with an expressive LCD screen to express facial emotions. All hardware components are controlled by a custom-designed controller board with real-time AI processing supported by an onboard Jetson module. The system incorporates three AI modules: (1) gesture recognition using MediaPipe Pose and an LSTM classifier, (2) object detection with YOLO and 3D localization, and (3) voice-command processing through speech recognition and large language model(LLM)-based semantic parsing. The platform is validated through experiments on positioning accuracy, with results showing average manipulation errors of approximately 1.83 cm. To demonstrate its versatility, experimental results show over 90% task accuracy, with gesture recognition reaching 96%, speech recognition reaching 92%. The results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed system as a reproducible and accessible humanoid platform for research and prototyping in HRI.
