Humanoid Head MIKE

The humanoid robot MIKE is a PhD project developed in the Graduate Studies Section of the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Zacatenco campus of the National Polytechnic Institute (Instituto Politécnico Nacional). In this article, the head of the humanoid robot called MIKE is presented, which consists of the design of a 3D printed prototype, has 2 degrees of freedom for the movement of rotation and tilt of the head through 2 servomotors respectively, has incorporated a dual stereo camera IMX219-83 that gives it artificial vision, all this is controlled by Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms by means of a Raspberry Pi 5 minicomputer. To identify and classify objects, people and scenarios, programs developed in Python 3.11 were created and Open CV and RPiCam algorithms were also used. Section II presents the prototype design, head components, control system design, algorithm development and final assembly. Section III presents the tests with different scenarios and the results obtained. Section IV gives the conclusions obtained from the development of this work
