Along with the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, a Skiing Robot Competition was held in which humanoid robots participated autonomously in a giant slalom alpine skiing competition. The robots were required to transit through many red or blue gates on the ski slope to reach the finish line. The course was relatively short at 100 m long and had an intermediate-level rating. A 1.23 m tall humanoid ski robot, \u2018DIANA\u2019, was developed for this skiing competition. As a humanoid robot that mimics humans, the goal was to descend the slope as fast as possible, so the robot was developed to perform a carved turn motion. The carved turn was difficult to balance compared to other turn methods. Therefore, ZMP control, which could secure the posture stability of the biped robot, was applied. Since skiing takes place outdoors, it was necessary to ensure recognition of the flags in various weather conditions. This was ensured using deep learning-based vision recognition. Thus, the performance of the humanoid robot DIANA was established using the carved turn in an experiment on an actual ski slope. The ultimate vision for humanoid robots is for them to naturally blend into human society and provide necessary services to people. Previously, there was no way for a full-sized humanoid robot to move on a snowy mountain. In this study, a humanoid robot that transcends this limitation was realized.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22030816","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,23]],"date-time":"2022-01-23T20:34:40Z","timestamp":1642970080000},"page":"816","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Carved Turn Control with Gate Vision Recognition of a Humanoid Robot for Giant Slalom Skiing on Ski Slopes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6920-2079","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cheonyu","family":"Park","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Convergence Robot System, Hanyang University, 55 Hanyangdaehak-ro, Sangnok-gu, Ansan-si 15588, Gyeonggi-do, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8450-4534","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Baekseok","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Convergence Robot System, Hanyang University, 55 Hanyangdaehak-ro, Sangnok-gu, Ansan-si 15588, Gyeonggi-do, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yitaek","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Convergence Robot System, Hanyang University, 55 Hanyangdaehak-ro, Sangnok-gu, Ansan-si 15588, Gyeonggi-do, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Younseal","family":"Eum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Convergence Robot System, Hanyang University, 55 Hanyangdaehak-ro, Sangnok-gu, Ansan-si 15588, Gyeonggi-do, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3470-8221","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hyunjong","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, New York University, New York, NY 10003, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dongkuk","family":"Yoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ERICA IUCF, Hanyang University, 55 Hanyangdaehak-ro, Sangnok-gu, Ansan-si 15588, Gyeonggi-do, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeongin","family":"Moon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sports Engineering Laboratory, Department of Physical Education, Seoul National University, 1 Gwanak-ro 38-gil, Gwanak-gu, Seoul 08732, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0539-9519","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jeakweon","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Robotics, Hanyang University, 55 Hanyangdaehak-ro, Sangnok-gu, Ansan-si 15588, Gyeonggi-do, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Kajita, S., Hirukawa, H., Harada, K., and Yokoi, K.
