A modified platform
resembling these robots is expected to be used as government-funded equipment
(GFE) for performers in Tracks B and C of the DARPA Robotics Challenge. The GFE
Platform is expected to have two arms, two legs, a torso and a head, and will
be physically capable of performing all of the tasks required for the disaster
response scenarios scheduled in the Challenge. However, despite the appearance
of the robots in the video, the Challenge is decidedly not exclusive to
humanoid robot solutions. Any designs are welcome provided they are compatible
with shared human-robot environments, compatible with human tools, and
compatible with human operators so that a human without expertise in robotics
can give commands and confidently anticipate the response. DARPA Legged
Squad Support System (LS3); The goal of the LS3 program is to demonstrate that
a legged robot can unburden dismounted squad members by carrying their gear,
autonomously following them through rugged terrain, and interpreting verbal and
visual commands.
