At the end of last year, there was the largest robotics competition DARPA Robotics Challenge. In the finals eight robots. Most of them are developing company, which now include Google.
The robots out of the lab Boston Dynamics for years filled the front pages of technology sites and looking at my flat humanoid Petman and Atlas, one can not resist the idea that soon these sophisticated machines and Skynet will take over the reign judgment day.

Atlas is almost perfect studies of human motor skills transferred to a steel pile full of engines and computer technology, the question is, how would they resulted in actual field, if someone is launched into normal streets. A bit scary idea.
About something similar a few years trying to probably the most competitive race of robots in the world DARPA Robotics Challenge , which consists of three rounds. In the first, the teams control their robots only in the virtual environment and the jury consider the software itself and the method of operation. The second round will send teams to steel their children on the training ground, where they must overcome several obstacles rather complicated, well, finally there is the third final round, the robots must perform several tasks in difficult communication conditions. The third round thus does not test only the mechanical and mainly motor possibilities of the robot and its operator capabilities, but also its autonomy. Artificial intelligence it still is, but some operations must simply make all by itself - no one does it by the hand. The final winner can look forward to a reward in the amount of $ 2,000,000, DARPA funded competitors but also during the preparations.
The objective of the robotic contest U.S. defense agency DARPA is to find a rescuer future who will be able to assist in disaster relief where it is too risky to broadcast a live person. The organizers therefore prepared eight teams competing fairly practical tasks to be fulfilled by each robot. In this case really is not about how fast the robot moves and if he can do squat, but rather about whether it can turn a classic pipe cap, if he can climb a ladder to clean up debris or need to drive a car.
Yes, it really is not a typo. Robots must, in the first mission to master driving in a small car modified Polaris Ranger XP 900 , which at first glance resembles cart from golf courses with field structures. Robot must, like in auto ride test track full of obstacles and which relates to the ride quality, which can be a lot of stretch .
Current competitive sport is coming to a close.Has completed the first round of virtual and real contest in the field, which took place late last year in Florida. Thus, it remains only the last round in which it is established, if robots are not only toys with remote control and even for autonomous behavior. Scientists have to prepare in less than twelve months, is held in December this year.
Boston Dynamics, which now include Google, although the competition of the right did not attend his robots Atlas course, yes, but featured a flag other and with various modifications.
Robot Atlas Although not win, but it was the most common robot in frenetically.

The U.S. Agency for Aerospace but completely failed and did not win a single point. On the contrary, most of those gathered relatively unknown Japanese company Schaft . Under normal circumstances, it was probably just one of the many island robotic assembly plants, which in Japan is perhaps the most in the world, last year she got to the front of the technological media, they belong to those who bought Google.
Google therefore currently owns the most advanced humanoid robot technology in the world that operate only on paper and in the laboratory, but also in the field. Let us imagine winning robots who advance to the final round and the structural design often reminds movie figures from Star Wars. This time, however, it is the twenty-first century and the sheer reality.
Robotic startup Schaft Inc. was in the attic of the Tokyo University under the guidance of an experienced Yuto Nakanishi, which from 2007 developed humanoid robot Kojiro . Robust two-legged robot S-One is a versatile, his powerful limbs is possible to connect virtually any device. Although peasant sheet looks in the photos quite heavily, in fact high only around 1.5 meters and weighs 94 kilograms.

The competition received nearly full points and won, he made only problems the car from which he could not get out. Yes, in the context of difficult tests, the robots had to not only drive the car, but also it stand out. Staff only started for them.
Robot Atlas: Probably the most advanced humanoid sheet.
