T1  - Dexterous Humanoid Whole-Body Manipulation by Pivoting
N2  - In this book the variety of humanoid robotic research can be obtained. This book is divided in four parts: Hardware Development: Components and Systems, Biped Motion: Walking, Running and Self-orientation, Sensing the Environment: Acquisition, Data Processing and Control and Mind Organisation: Learning and Interaction.
The first part of the book deals with remarkable hardware developments, whereby complete humanoid robotic systems are as well described as partial solutions.
In the second part diverse results around the biped motion of humanoid robots are presented. The autonomous, efficient and adaptive two-legged walking is one of the main challenge in humanoid robotics. The two-legged walking will enable humanoid robots to enter our environment without rearrangement.
Developments in the field of visual sensors, data acquisition, processing and control are to be observed in third part of the book.
In the fourth part some "mind building" and communication technologies are presented.
