Flame, the first ever walking robot to imitate humans
A new robot named Flame was developed by Daan Hobbelen, a PhD student at TU Delft in the Netherlands.
This robot is based on the principles of human walking and this is considered to be most advance robot in its kind. Flame can cope to achieve great stability while remaining energy efficient.
In the two groups of walking robot, Flame is categorized in the second group which is designed to imitate human walking in the sense that the robot is executing a controlled fall forward. This type of robot is not very energy consuming and is not that costly.
Flame is 1.3 m in height and is about 15 kg. It has seven motors. It does not fall and can manage to stay stable because of “organ balance” and a sequence of algorithms which calculate where and how far apart the robot’s ‘feet’ should be placed.
The upper body of Flame has PC104 computer which has a real-time Linux kernel (RTAI) running a control loop and can implement torque and/or position control on all actuated joints.
According to Hobbelen, Flame is the first walking robot with electric actuation. This research might further the development of treatment and diagnosis for people who have difficulty in walking.

Very informative about robot that has artificial intelligence. Thank you so much. I get lot of information from this post.
the flame is really superb. its appearance is just looks like a human being hats off to the student who developed this man.
Its really an intelligent article about robots.This research might be very useful to the people with walking problem.Its appreciable one.Thanks.
interesting and informative article. it is because of these articles that I keep checking this site for the new info!
What an intresting article. Its very useful to all kinds of people.
Want to see a robot which can think like humans.
