Last weekend, 17 teams came to Homestead, Fla., to participate in the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's DARPA Robotics Challenge Trials. The competition has eight missions for contestants to test robots that can carry out rescue work after natural disasters, including driving cars, crossing rough terrain, climbing ladders, removing debris, opening a series of portals, drilling holes in walls, opening Valves and rolled up hoses, etc.
Teams participating in the competition can design their own robots or write software that runs on the Boston Dynamics Atlas robot.
For some of the world's most advanced robots, these tasks seem simple. However, when doing these tasks, only a few teams can get full marks in any one project; at the same time, despite spending more than two hours to try, there are three teams that get zero points.
After the audience witnessed many failures and restarts, the final winner was the HRP-2 humanoid robot produced by the Japanese company Schaft, which was acquired by Google earlier this year. The HRP-2 won't be surprising, as Schaft released the video ahead of the game, showing that the robot can do all of the above. The score for this contest was 32 points, and Schaft scored an incredible 27 points.
The runner-up came from the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, a non-profit research institution whose final score was 20 points. Carnegie Mellon University's CHIMP robot won the third place with a total score of 18 points. The university's participating robots weigh 400 pounds (about 181 kilograms) and have a bright red color with a wingspan of 10 feet. "3 meters" of the "wings".
Other winners include MIT, NASA's Jet Propulsion Labs, defense industry giant Lockheed Martin, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and Headquartered in Texas, TRACLabs Laboratory. The finals will be held next year, and these contestants will gather at that time to compete for a $2 million prize.
