Maurya Shivam, one of the students who developed the robot, told PTI, "This robot is not my first attempt, I have already worked on several other robots which are used in different fields for various purposes. This robot has been made after in-depth study about humans, focusing on their legs, especially the way they walk - it was designed based on that."
He also stated that successful tests have been conducted for its walking on the road. "This is our prototype which we have tested on the road. And this is not completed yet, work still remains to be done on its leg, hand, head and face. We have tried to create it as same as how a normal human walks," he added.
