FLAME - Dutch Robot walks like humans

Researcher Daan Hobbelen of TU Delft has developed a new, highly-advanced walking robot: Flame. This type of research, for which Hobbelen will receive his PhD on Friday 30 May, 2008, is important as it provides insight into how people walk. This can in turn help people with walking difficulties through improved diagnoses, training and rehabilitation equipment.

not realy a revolution, cuz japanese asimo walks the same way or even better for quite a while.

[TheCrazy1One]

only difference is that asimo doesn't actually walk like a human, but just like a machine with 2 legs and a shitload of engines and computers. This robot gives us a real insight in how a human walks.

well..the way it walks almost quite the same as the humans.

Not bad for a PhD. student, but he can't match the corporate might of Honda. ASIMO>FLAME.
