So loads of stuff has been happening since the last post.

The team went to Korea & Japan to give demonstrations ( and learn !).

We completed manufacturing AcYut 2 ( code named sid ). and fitted the new Robotis motors ( thanks to Arun Kanchi @ Force10Networks- BITS Alumnus ).

etc etc.

So while the team gives their end semester exams, i thought i should atleast start with photos .

Team AcYut with the legendery Humanoid maker ‘Sugiura-san’

Team Acyut gets tips and tricks on Humanoid walking algorithms from the god himself. ‘Sugiura-san’ is a legendery name in the Humanoid world and he is known for building the Dynamizer series of Humanoids.  Check out his humanoids at Dynamizer’s Official Website (Japanese).

The past week has been pretty eventful for the team here. Things ( as said in the previous blog ) are definitely falling into place. Although this might be misguided enthusiasm and optimism, it feels good.

The funds have begun to flow in thanks to the immense support extended by the BITSAA (BITS Alumni Association). They have assured us that at no cost shall this project die out due to “lack of funds”. Obviously, if you have such a strong family backing you up, you  begin to feel you can take on the world individually ( something we plan to do )

 Also, our story ( or should I say) our aspirations, have been printed in numerous news papers and news sites across the world. All this, thanks to IANS ( and Joydeep ofcourse ).  You can read more about us at

Things seem to be on the brighter side at the moment. Hope they remain this way.

Till then , ciao
