Robotics Challenges for the Future: The DARPA robotics competition

The DARPA Robotics Challenge is a competition where teams develop robots to assist in disaster response. The challenge involves navigating tasks with limited communication, aiming to improve robotics for hazardous conditions. Robots must be adaptable, with capabilities in mobility, dexterity, tool use, and partial autonomy. The competition encourages advancements in robotics technology, with a $2,000,000 prize for the winning team.
