Description:
The body (without the head) of our robot Alpha has 17 degrees of freedom (four in each leg, three in each arm, and three in the trunk). The joints of the robot are driven by Faulhaber DC-motors of different sizes. The robot's total height is about 155cm. The skeleton of the robot is constructed from carbon composite materials to achieve a low weight of about 30kg. Alpha's head consists of 16 degrees of freedom, which are driven by servo motors. We have 3 DOFs to move the eyes, 3 DOFs to move the neck, 4 DOFs to animate the eye browns and 6 DOFs to animate the mouth.

Using speech recognition, speech synthesis, face localization, speaker localization, facial expressions, and gestures with eyes and arms, Alpha can engage in multimodal conversations with multiple persons.

At RoboCup 2004, Alpha took part in the Humanoid League Free Style competition of and won the third price with a dance performance.
