This paper describes the new Sweaty humanoid adult size robot trying to qualify for the RoboCup 2014 adult size humanoid competition. The robot is built from scratch to eventually allow it to run. One characteristic is that to prevent the motors from overheating, water evaporation is used for cooling. The robot is literally sweating which has given it its name. Another characteristic is, that the motors are not directly connected to the frame but by means of beams. This allows a variable transmission ratio depending on the angle.
Sweaty has already participated several times in RoboCup soccer competitions (Adult Size). Now the work is focused coordinating the play of two robots. Moreover, we are working on stabilizing the gait by adding additional sensor information. An ongoing work is the optimization of the control strategy by balancing between impedance and position control. By minimizing the jerk, gait and overall gameplay should improve significantly.
