The BAA with formal details should be out very soon, but for now we&#8217;re bringing you the unofficial, preliminary details based on notes from Dr. Gill Pratt&#8217;s talk at DTRA Industry Day: The new Grand Challenge is for a humanoid robot (with a bias toward bipedal designs) that can be used in rough terrain and for industrial disasters.  The robot will be required to maneuver into and drive an open-frame vehicle (eg. tractor), proceed to a building and dismount, ingress through a locked door using a key, traverse a 100 meter rubble-strewn hallway, climb a ladder, locate a leaking pipe and seal it by closing off a nearby valve, and then replace a faulty pump to resume normal operations &#8212; all semi-autonomously with just &#8220;supervisory teleoperation.&#8221;  That&#8217;s a tough challenge, but it should be fun!  It looks like there will be six hardware teams to develop new robots, and twelve software teams using a common platform (PETMAN anyone?!).  The most crazy part about all of this: The United States is getting back into the humanoid robot game&#8230; in a big way!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New DARPA Grand Challenge for Humanoid Robots &#8212; Preliminary (Unofficial) Details April 3, 2012 by Travis Deyle from (Hizook) New DARPA Humanoid Grand Challenge It seems we&#8217;re going to have a new DARPA Grand Challenge!
