A humanoid robot is a robot having an overall appearance based on the human body and is created to imitate the same physical/mental tasks that humans perform daily. A new approach of creating humanoid robots is the branch of Biomechanics.
The Indian Humanoid is named AcYut-4.
The AcYut team consisted of Tushar Agarwal, Apoorv Shrivastava, Deepak Gopinath and Dhairya Seth. The team leader, a third year Mechanical engineering student, Akash Gupta, had the following information about the AcYut-4: “The robot can walk long distances, bend and pick up things, climb stairs and detect objects. It can even play autonomous soccer”. The robot has an autonomous weight-lifting record in its category and has even performed at the Robogames 2011 held in San Francisco a month ago.
The name AcYut is derived from the Sanskrit word “Achyut” meaning “one who never falls”. The 4 in the name indicates that this is the 4th in the series of robots built by the team. The team started by building a prototype biped with scrape aluminium and old motors in the robotics lab in BITS, Pilani.
