Meet the Teams: DARPA Robotics Challenge Track A Robots

Published on Jul 11, 2013


Say hello to the robots that will be competing in the December 2013 DARPA Robotics Challenge Trials at the Homestead-Miami Speedway! Which is your favorite?

The robots shown here are in various states of readiness. The teams have until December to complete their bots for the initial round of physical competition in the DARPA Robotics Challenge. The goal of the competition is to advance the technology required to create robots to assist humans in disaster response.

The six Track A robots will compete against seven teams using the Atlas robot, created by Boston Dynamics for DARPA, and against an unknown number of teams from Track D.

DARPA Robotics Challenge

Published on Nov 18, 2013


Robots are coming of age. As part of the DARPA Robotics Challenge, Lockheed Martin is developing autonomous systems that work together with human operators. This collaborative approach applies across many platforms and domain. Our research will eventually allow humans to be more efficient and effective in challenging environments that are difficult or too dangerous to access today.

When we spoke to Henrik Christensen of Georgia Tech, he told us about a robotics challenge that blew our minds. A robot would have to operate a vehicle, drive to a location, walk into a building, navigate stairs, knock a hole in a wall and manipulate some controls. The results are in – which teams succeeded in building a robot capable of completing all the tasks and what actually happened?
