Almost every year, we see and publish new advancements to robotic prostheses, and this year is no exception. In the video below by darpa, the robot hand is not only controlled by brain, but it is also able to sense things. Source: https://www.youtube.com/user/DARPAtv/videos
The cheetah robot which is designed by MIT and funded by DARPA makes some very cool jumps, as seen in the video below. Credit: MIT, Darpa Source: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFe-pfe0a9bDvWy74Jd7vFg
POMONA, Calif.CHIMP, a four-limbed robot designed and built by Carnegie Mellon University¹s Tartan Rescue Team, finished third and won $500,000 Saturday at the DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC), a two-day event that pitted 24 of the world¹s most advanced robots against each other in a test of their ability to respond to disasters. During its best […]
Press Release from Robotiq: December 18h, 2013 – Robotiq – a company making robotic tools for agile automation in manufacturing industries – is proud to announce that its 3-Finger Adaptive Robot Gripper will play a major role at the DARPA ROBOTICS CHALLENGE TRIALS on December 20-21 at the Homestead-Miami Speedway in Florida. Indeed, […]
I would like to call this “the most advanced robotics competition we will witness”. It is called DRC (DARPA Robotics Challenge) organized by DARPA, the initiator of internet, the organization which helped advance the use of autonomous cars, and many more cool technologies. It is an ambitious competition that only the most advanced robotics teams […]
CHIMP, which is an abbreviation for CMU Highly Intelligent Mobile Platform, is a human size robot being built by Carnegie Mellon University, Tartan Rescue Team. The robot is made to compete in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) Robotics Challenge (DRC). DRC is a competition that will test competing robots’ human-like abilities, such as, […]
The 4 legged LS3 robot, which is an upgraded version of big dog robot produced by Boston Dynamics for DARPA, has gotten more abilities like following people on command and it is much less noisy too, in comparison to the previous big dog model which sounded like a lawn mower in full speed. The robot, […]
Researchers at Florida Institute of Human Machine Cognition have made a leg design for a robot Ostrich that would allow the robot to run on two legs with speeds up to 30 km / hour by using only one actuator per leg. The project is funded by DARPA, just as many other robotic projects, which […]

The new surveillance robot that has been made by iROBOT for DARPA was presented the other day. The robot called “110 Firstlook” can observe its surroundings continuously with “persistent stare” and it is able to maneuver around in very tight and difficult conditions. The robot weighs less than 5 lbs and 10 inches, can stay […]
