Next Friday , a Dutch robotics researcher namedDaan HobbelenatTU Delftwill be getting his Ph.D. for building a automaton named Flame . What ’s the big deal ? you robo - saturated Giz readers ask . Flame has been built to walk like a human race , using human being - based principles that strike veneration in the hearts of other robotics expert . UPDATE and BONUS television BELOW ! !
The all-important but counterintuitive concept is that , to walk like a humankind , the automaton must “ return forward . ” Flame derive selective information from its “ electric organ of Libra the Balance , ” which it then applies to thing like stance using seven motor . Springs in its joints make the movements smoother , as you see in the video recording above .
Flame will be used not only to further robotics inquiry , but to help diagnose orthopedic trouble in humans as well . Me , I ’m waiting for Flame 2 . countersign on the street is that it ’ll be able-bodied to draw out off , yes that ’s ripe , the Electric Boogaloo . [ PhysOrgviaKurzweilAI ]
UPDATE : A reviewer name Jerry just told me about an earlierbipedal golem from Cornellthat supposedly used the same principle to walk . As you could see in the picture below , on the top side , it has arms ; on the downside , it look like it ’s been using the arms to do the 12 - oz curl if you know what I ’m sayin ’ . Thanks Jerry !
