Simulation of a Robotis DARwIn-OP in Webots

DARwIn-OP which stands for Dynamic Anthropomorphic Robot with Intelligence–Open Platform is a miniature-humanoid robot platform with advanced computational power, sophisticated sensors, high payload capacity, and dynamic motion ability developed and manufactured by Korean robot manufacturer ROBOTIS[1] in collaboration with Virginia Tech, Purdue University,and University of Pennsylvania. DARwIn-OP has twenty degrees of freedom, each controlled by a DYNAMIXEL MX-28[2] servo motor. The MX-28 has a stall torque of 24 kgf·cm (at 12 V, 1.5 A) and a 360 degree range of motion.

DARwIn-OP's main purpose is for research and programmers in the fields of humanoid, artificial intelligence, gait algorithm, vision,[3] inverse kinematics, linguistics, etc...[4] It is also supported by $1.2 million NSF grant [5][6] and has been distributed to over 14 institutions already.[5][6]

DARwIn-OP is also the winner of the Kid Size League in the RoboCup 2011[7][8][9][10] and 2012 League.[11]

Competitions

This platform is currently used in the ICRA, RoboCup, and FIRA competition. Links below.

DARwIn-OP Humanoid Application Challenge

Beginning in 2012 Robotis and IEEE ICRA has sponsored the DARwIn-OP Humanoid Application Challenge, held at the ICRA conference. The competition encourages participants to solve novel problems using DARwIn-OP and present their findings at the conference. Winners are selected by a panel of experts as well as popular vote amongst the participants. The winning team has been awarded the DARwIn-OP Deluxe Edition for two consecutive years along with software(s). All finalists are also rewarded.

Winners
Year Winning Team Project Description Competition Location
2012 University of Manitoba Ice skating/Ice hockey[15] Minneapolis-St Paul
2013 Georgia Tech Case-based reasoning, learning from demonstration Karlsruhe, Germany
2014 Coming soon Hong Kong

RoboCup

The DARwIn-OP robot is used by several teams in the RoboCup kids-size competition (humanoid robots 40–60 cm tall). Teams from University of Pennsylvania have won first place in the kids-size league using DARwIn-OP robots in 2011, 2012 and 2013.[16]

FIRA

DARwIn-OP robots are used by some teams in the kids-size HuroCup competition at FIRA. A team from the University of Manitoba won best overall at the 2013 competition using a DARwIn-OP.[17]

Community

Due to its openness and easy maintenance, many researchers favor and hope to create a clone version of their own. DARwIn-OP is currently being used at the labs/universities below :
