Through the mobile manipulation robot Momaro, team NimbRo Rescue of University of Bonn, Germany solved seven of the eight tasks of the DARPA Robotics Challenge: driving the car, climbing out of the car, opening the door, turning the valve, cutting a hole in a drywall, traversing debris, and the surprise task, which was to operate a big switch. All this was done in only 34 minutes.
Team NimbRo Rescue was the best European team, comming in 4th in the overall ranking.

Our team NimbRo Explorer solved through the mobile manipulation robot Momaro all tasks at the DLR SpaceBot Camp: taking a soil sample, finding and grasping two objects, transporting them to a basis object, assembly (placing the soil sample at a scale and inserting a battery pack) and operating a switch. The video also shows the removal of debris.
