Meet the Amazing Robots That Will Compete in the DARPA Robotics Challenge

We’ve been incredibly excited to see the progress that Boston Dynamics has been making on ATLAS in preparation for the DARPA Robotics Challenge, but we had no idea what to expect from the challenge’s Track A teams, each of whom will be designing and building their own robot with capabilities comparable to what we’ve seen ATLAS do.

Today, October 24, is opening day for the DARPA Robotics Challenge, or DRC. The press release sums it up nicely: “over the next two years, teams will compete to develop and put to the test hardware and software designed to enable robots to assist humans in emergency response when a disaster strikes.”
