Rehearsal of NASA's Valkyrie Robot Turning a Valve

NASA, the Human Centered Robotics Lab at UT Austin and Texas A&M made it to the DRC Trials. Here Valkyrie manipulates a valve while standing up. Valkyrie is a new bipedal robot that was designed and built from scratch in just 9 months. Although this year we did not have a lot of time to get the hardware and software finalized to fully compete, we are here in the competition for the endgame in 2014.

Still very much in its infancy. With a rate such as this the valve will be opened properly about when we are subject to extinction :P

Impressive humanoid movement. Bit slow though.
