i-1 is a multi-functional high performance humanoid robot, capable of seeing with its stereo cameras, hearing with its stereo microphones, it has 50 degrees of freedom. It is the only free-standing force-controllable full-body humanoid robot in the world. Our control scheme is based on the collaborative work of Dr. Sang-Ho Hyon [Hyon et. al. 2007].

i-1 has an unique vision system that is similar to the human retinal system, each eyes are equipped with two cameras: wide angle lens providing it with a peripheral view; narrow lens for foveated vision. We have developed a number of vision processing sub-systems to take advantage of such a retinal-like cameras system. The peripheral system is primarily used for all general visual processing: colour, motion, orientation. We utilises foveated vision for objects recognition.
