title = "Robot kinematics",
abstract = "The robotic platform is the physical hardware on which the experiments have been conducted. All algorithms, by definition, should be replicable on any physical machine, irrespective of the individual hardware components. However, all other things being constant, there is no denying that algorithms perform better on more capable hardware. In this chapter, we provide an introduction to the physical characteristics of the iCub robot platform that was used to perform the experiments and benchmark it using parameters that are relevant to the domain of robotics.",

note = "The iCub robot is a humanoid robot that is the result of RobotCub, a collaborative project funded by the European Commission under the sixth framework programme (FP6) by Unit E5: Cognitive Systems, Interaction and Robotics. While creating an open hardware and software platform in humanoid robotics is one of the goals of the RobotCub, the primary goal of the RobotCub project is to advance the current understanding of natural and artificial cognitive systems (Metta, Sandini, Vernon, & Natale, 2008).",
