[0054] The present invention discloses a humanoid foot and calf assembly of a humanoid robot. By performing bionic structural design on the foot 11, calf 21, etc., a modular drive system (including an ankle joint drive module 24 and a knee joint drive module 32), and an integrated perception feedback system, the perception feedback system includes an inertial measurement unit 12 and a force sensor 13, the performance of the humanoid robot in terms of movement flexibility, stability, load-bearing capacity and adaptability to complex terrain is significantly improved, the problems of unnatural, unstable and insufficient adaptability of the robot in the prior art are solved, and the robot can be applied to a variety of complex application scenarios.

The plantar wear-resistant cushion pad 15 is made of rubber material, which has good wear resistance and can effectively reduce the impact force generated during gait, protect the overall structure of the robot, especially during long-term or high-speed movement, and reduce mechanical fatigue.

[0060] The sole 11 of the present invention adopts a separated arch design, and a sole wear-resistant cushion pad 15 is bonded to the bottom of the sole 11, which effectively enhances the support performance and cushioning capacity of the entire assembly, especially adapting to complex ground, such as uneven roads or slopes, to maintain stable movement. The six-dimensional force sensor and inertial measurement unit 12 built into the sole can provide accurate feedback information, helping the robot to adjust its movement posture and gait in real time, and ensuring the stability of the robot during dynamic walking.

[0061] In some embodiments, the lower leg 21 adopts an integrated structure to enhance the overall strength and impact resistance. The overall modular design is easy to maintain and replace, reducing the complexity of the overall system. Figure 5 shown.
