A Bi-Directional Dual-Path Boost–Buck Hybrid Converter for High-V oltage Power Transmission Delivery Cable in

Abstract

Humanoid robots have great potential to replace human labors for various tasks in the near future. For a centralized energy storage system in humanoid robots, its battery pack (heart) is located in the main body while the energy is mostly consumed through its legs and hands, demanding thick wires (strong blood vessels) to deliver power to the actuators (muscles). In this work, we present a high-voltage power transmission cable system, which utilizes two bidirectional dual-path boost–buck (DP-BB)
