Abstract: Mechanical design of a humanoid robot head has always been the focus and difficulty. As the robot has small head space and many mechanical structures, it is needed to complete the complex structural design in a limited space, and also all the movements are not allowed to interfere with each other. Aiming at these problems, structural design of a humanoid robot head based on Pro/E was introduced. And the virtual assembly in accordance with the lifesize and the static interference check were also accomplished. The kinematic form dynamically was simulated and analyzed, which may be valuable for engineering application. The results show that the research provides the data for the next robot production and lays the foundation for the driver selection.
Key words: structural design; Pro/E; interference check; dynamic simulation
