Abstract
In this paper, a 20-DOF miniature humanoid MH-2 is developed to achieve rich remote communication. MH-2 has dual 7-DOF, a 3-DOF head and a 3-DOF body. An operator can communicate with remote people through the robot. In other words, the robot acts as an avatar of the operator. It provides sophisticated gestures because of multi degrees of freedom. Fundamental experiments show its feasibilities.
