Via I Programmer:
The idea behind the DARPA Robotics Challenge is to develop robotic technology for disaster response operations, looking to improve the performance of robots that operate in the rough terrain and austere conditions characteristic of disasters, and use vehicles and tools commonly available in populated areas.
Points:
- “…develop ground robotic capabilities to execute complex tasks in dangerous, degraded, human-engineered environments.”
- “…advance the technologies of supervised autonomy, mounted mobility, dismounted mobility, dexterity, strength, and platform endurance.”
