DARPA Robotics Challenge Trials: What We Learned on Day 1 - IEEE Spectrum
## Non-humanoid robots are a situationally effective compromise [NASA](https://spectrum.ieee.org/tag/nasa)JPL's[RoboSimian](https://spectrum.ieee.org/tag/robosimian)negotiates the rough terrain course. While [humanoid robots predominate at the DRC](https://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/humanoids/meet-the-amazing-robots-that-will-compete-in-the-darpa-robotics-challenge), several teams are using designs that are more novel, most notably [JPL's RoboSimian](https://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/industrial-robots/watch-jpls-robosimian-do-pullups) and CMU Tartan Rescue's CHIMP. Both RoboSimian and CHIMP were very solid on the terrain tasks, which they tackled on all fours (and in CHIMP's case, on tracks) instead of using two legs as most other robots. However, RoboSimian wasn't able to compete in either the car driving or ladder climbing tasks (although they plan to next year), and CHIMP was only able to awkwardly climb up one rung of the ladder, having sacrificed any hope of being nimble to a clever but very heavy array of tracked climbs. We'll be following both of these teams tomorrow to see how well they do in tasks relying more heavily on dexterous manipulation than on movement. *CMU's CHIMP tackles terrain very effectively on all fours.* *CHIMP isn't quite as nimble on ladders, although it did manage to score one point by barely lifting itself off of the ground.* ## Thinking like a human isn't necessarily good [HUBO](https://robotsguide.com/robots/hubo)going backwards up the ladder. The DRC robots are intended to take over from humans, but that doesn't mean that they need to operate the way humans need to operate. For example, Team DRC HUBO reached almost the very top of the ladder task by going up with its back to the ladder. It's perhaps not the most intuitive way to do it, but because of the way HUBO's joints bend, going backwards enabled it to keep its center of mass closer to the ladder itself. ## Hard tasks are still hard, especially driving *HUBO recalibrates after someone accidentally bumped into an E-Stop.* As well as Friday went, we don't want you to get the idea that the DRC is turning out to be easy, and there are still teams working towards their first point. Even the best teams have lots of room for improvement between now and the DRC Finals. The hardest task is turning out to be driving; even with teams being allowed to start the task with their robot in the vehicle already, nobody has so far been able to score a single point. Team DRC HUBO did manage to get the car to move, but they went over time doing it. *Although over the time limit, HUBO was still able to successfully drive the vehicle.*

Custom force sensors on the bottom of its feet help the robot step over uneven surfaces by adjusting the angle and position of each foot. Walking speed increased to 0.7 kilometers per hour from 0.3 km/h in the previous generation. While Surena IV is not a highly dynamic machine like Atlas, the famously agile humanoid from Boston Dynamics, it relies on a whole-body motion controller that continuously adjusts its posture to avoid falls. In its overall design, Surena is probably more comparable to humanoids like UBTECH’s Walker, Honda’s Asimo, Pal Robotics’ Talos, KAIST’s Hubo, and AIST’s HRP-2, although these robots have already publicly demonstrated a broader range of capabilities.
Hubo II Humanoid Robot Is Lighter and Faster, Makes His Creator Proud - IEEE Spectrum
It's Hubo II, the humanoid above, which Oh and his colleagues developed at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology's Humanoid Robot Research Center, aka Hubo Lab. Professor Oh built the original Hubo in 2004. It was one of the first advanced full-body humanoid robots developed outside Japan. But he's probably better known for another humanoid: Albert Hubo, which had a Hubo body and an Albert Einstein animatronic head developed by Hanson Robotics. Now Professor Oh is ready to introduce the new addition to his family. Hubo II is lighter and faster than its older brother, weighing 45 kilograms, or a third less, and capable of walking two times faster. Watch the demo: [...] Watch the demo: A major improvement over early humanoid designs is Hubo II's gait. Most humanoid robots walk with their knees bent, which is dynamically more stable but not natural compared to human walking. Hubo II, Professor Oh says, performs straight leg walking. It consumes less energy and allows for faster walking. Note Hubo II's left knee extended when the leg swings forward (middle image below): The robot has more than 40 motors and dozens of sensors, cameras, and controllers. It carries a lithium polymer battery with a 480 watt-hour capacity, which keeps the robot running up 2 hours with movement and up to 7 hours without movement.
