Pet - Proto has the skill put required to take part in DARPA ’s upcoming Robotics Challenge , which will see humanoid robots combat it out in a form of tests , from force elevator car , through repair industrial equipment , to traverse assault course like the one in the video . After 27 months of grueling test , the come through team — from a field including NASA ’s Jet Propulsion Labs , MIT , TORC Robotics and more — will get a $ 2 million prize .
But Pet - Proto wo n’t be competing . In fact , it ’s a precursor to a large , better humanoid automaton call in ATLAS , which will be used by the team take part in the challenge as a testbed for more advanced robotics and package . Other teams will take a more challenging route and shun Boston Dynamics ’ testbed option altogether though — so carry to see some even more exciting creations in the nigh hereafter .
