An approach of energy minimization in humanoid robots is proposed in our paper. The techniques of dynamic power management method and real-time scheduling method are combined to be used in the humanoid robots. The common components of humanoid robots are motors, sensors, computers and controllers and so on which are electronic systems, and humanoid robots are real-time systems. Therefore, the dynamic power management method is used to dynamically adjust power state of components adaptive to the task’s need to reduce energy consumption, and the real-time scheduling method is applied to schedule multiple tasks and meet the deadlines. Through simulation of the humanoid robot developed by our lab, the feasibility of our method is proved.
