Abstract
Supporting houseworks by humanoids is expected, since robotics technology has been rapidly developed. Adult human-scale humanoids, however, could be danger to people when they fall or hit something, because they are so heavy and big. We suppose that small two-legged humanoids are suitable for working in living environment of human. Previously we have succeeded in manipulating objects on a table using the stepstool by a small humanoid. The purpose of our experiments has been realization of clearing up a room by a small humanoid. This paper describes a method of carrying objects on a table to another table by a small humanoid. This robot obtains data of position and direction of objects using camera images and grasps them.
