[ Notice for Assembly and Operation ]

· All users should follow the instructions in this user manual.

· The basic posture of standard platform (HUNO) robot is as shown in the below.

If robot does not take the posture as the below after you press the center ( ) button of

IR remote controller, it means that robot was assembled in wrong way.

Do not operate robot by force when robot was assembled in wrong way

Otherwise, robot could be damaged and it gets out of order.

· Sometimes, smart servo does not rotate well when you assemble it by hand.

This happens when internal gears are stiff, not a defective problem.

This kind of problem will be solved when robot took the basic posture after

you power-on smart controller.

· Generally, it takes about one hour to assemble it by using '+' screw driver.

But this is the average assembly time. so it can take longer or less depends on users' working environment.

· Robot will walk well in the flat place. It can be fallen down when you put a robot in carpet or rugged place

· Basic motions (11 motions) are already pre-programmed.

These motions are played by IR remote controller as soon as receiving robot.

. Make sure that nuts are not dropped into smart servo or smart controller during assembling robot.

2.8 Check Assembled Robot

<Basic Posture>

Let’s find out how Robot works after assembly. Firstly, power on (press button ‘P’) in smart controller.

Then, press ‘stop’ button of IR remote controller towards IR remote controller receiver.

Then Robot will take the basic posture as shown in the below.

50

<Attention Posture>

Robot will take the “Attention!” posture if you press “button 1” in IR remote controller.

l Please check the assembly guide from the STEP1 again if robot posture is not the same as shown in

the above.

51

3. Zero Position Adjustment

standard line

FrontHorn mark

Zero position is robot standard posture information in order to know the difference of each robot basic posture.

Every robot basic posture would be different a little because every smart servo has own tolerance. For instance,
‘A’ robot motion would play a little bit different in ‘B’ robot because of smart servo tolerance. This difference
can be reduced as you ajdust “zero position adjustment”.

<RQ-HUNO zero position adjustment?

i) Prepare “zero position tool”.

ii) Fix Front Horn with zero position tool by using 2s rivets.

iii) Put FrontHorn into smart servo to be adjusted. Stand line and FrontHorn mark should be matched

as the below.

‘L’ mark zero position tool is to adjust robot “left arm” and “left leg”.

‘R’ mark zero position tool is to adjust robot “right arm” and “right leg”.

iv) Make power-off the smart controller.

v) Press button P while button 1 pressed.

ð LED 1 blue and red LED lights, also, smart servo ID00 blue LED lights.

(Zero position adjustment starts from smart servo ID00.)

52

Button 1 Button 2 Button 3

Every time you press button 1,

smart servo is selected in order.

“ID01, ID02, ID03…. ID15,

ID00”.

Smart servo moves

counter clockwise

direction.

Smart servo moves
clockwise direction.

For example, smart servo ID01 blue LED lighs when

ID01 zero position adjustment is started.

ð Make sure that 01 adjustment line is matched

with smart servo ID01.

01 means smart servo ID01.

Adjust smart servo ID01 to fit with 01 number.

vi) Press button 1 for selecting smart servo ID, then press button 2 or button 3 for smart servo

rotating direction.

vii) Press button P to save the “zero position”.

TIP.

=> Each smart servo is to be adjusted to conform
with zero position adjustment line.
But for ID02, ID03, ID07, ID08 is to conform with

Knee Frame, not a smart servo.

=> RQ-HUNO Body Frame should be conform with

the rear side of Foot after zero position.

6. MotionBuilder

6.1 Introduction

This document explains how to use MotionBuilder the motion building tool for RQ-HUNO.
What are project file, motion file, scene, frame, transition time?

Project file(*.prj)

: A project file contains the information such as the robot’s type and more. It is used to
manage multiple motion files of a robot efficiently. Therefore, one project file includes one or
more motion files.

Motion file(*.rbm)

: A motion file contains the complete data to execute its movement. One motion file consists
of multiple scenes.

Scene

: A scene is a smaller motion unit that constitutes a complete motion file. A scene consists
of start position and destination position. Except the first scene, the start position of a scene
is the destination position of its previous scene. When a scene is executed, the frame
data is generated automatically according to the predefiend number of frames and delivered
to each actuator modules.

Frame

: A frame is the smallest motion unit that constitutes a scene. Each frame can be considered
as the still image that is actually sent to robot actuators. The more frames you define,
the smoother the motion becomes. One scene can have from 1 up to 100 frames.

Transition Time

: Transition time is the time duration that is taken to execute a scene. Transition time is
closely related with the number of frames. It can have value from 20msec up to 6000msec.
The minimum transition time that can be allocated for a frame is 20msec.
e.g) If scene A has 10 frames, the transition time can be selected from 200 up to 60000.

6.2 Motion Programming #1

Let’s try one simple motion programming for RQ-HUNO.

1) Run “MotionBuilder” and click “New”.
Input “greeting” in Project Name, then select Robot Platform “RQ-HUNO”.

2) Click “OK”, then it shows as below.

63

3) Connect RQ-HUNO with PC by using “Down Cable (UART)” then, power on smart controller

(Button P)

4) Click “Scan Port” to search correct COM Port, or you can click “Open Port” if you know the COM

Port No.

5) Click “New Motion”. Then input “hi” in Motion Name.
If you want to use smart servo LED, check the “Enable External Port”, then, click “OK”.

64

- Frames : If you increase the Frames, robot moves smoothly.

-Motion Run Time : Each frame run time range is 20~1000msec.

TIP. It is recommended that first scene and last scene is for robot basic

posture for stable motion movement

Therefore, do not revise the Frames and Run Time value of Scene0

6) If you see the New Scene window, click “OK”.
You can adjust “Frames”, and “Motion Run Time (ms)”.

7) In order to move up and shake the arm, add the second scene. For adding new scene, you

should select next empty scene before click “New Scene”.

8) In order to move up and shake the arm, add the second scene. For adding new scene, you

should select next empty scene before click “New Scene”. Move the Jog Dial of “ID10”.

65

9) Move the Jog Dial of “ID11”.

10) For the next movement, add the third scene.

11) Move the Jog Dial of ID12.

66

12) Then, let’s make the arm shaking motion like “saying Hi”. Copy the Scene 1 and Scene 2.

13) Paste the Scene 1 and Scene 2 to the next empty scene space, and do the paste again.

Lastly, copy the “Scene 0” and paste to the last scene.

67

14) Save the Motion file, Click “select All” and then click “Test” button.

15) Completed “Hi.rbm” motion movement is as follows.

.

6.3 Change Motion Speed

Let’s find out about frame and motion run time.
We have applied basic frame and motion run time (30 frames, 1000 msec) in the previous motion

1) If you look at the scene part, you can see all the frame value is 30 and time value is 1000. you can
change the frames and time as you double-click related scene.

2) Minimum motion run time is 20msec for each frame. Therefore, time value should be at least 600
msec if frames are 30. Change the frame value first, then input proper time value.

3) Try to change the frame value to 15, and time value is 300msec then click “Test” as shown below.

4) You can see that motion speed is faster than before.
