South Korea Japan robot challenge

South Korea Japan robot challenge, South Korean researchers conveyed home the $2 million top prize Saturday after their robot triumphed in a calamity reaction test enlivened by the 2011 triple emergencies at the Fukushima No. 1 atomic plant.

Group KAIST and its DRC-Hubo robot took the honor in front of Team IHMC Robotics and Tartan Rescue, both from the United States, at the DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC) following a two-day rivalry in California.

The runners-up win $1 million and $500,000, individually, in a field of more than 20 contenders.

Be that as it may, it is about more than simply the cash, with the groups likewise winning the credit of triumphing following a three-year apply autonomy challenge sorted out by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which commissions propelled examination for the U.S. Resistance Department.

Over the two days, every robot had two opportunities to contend on an impediment course containing eight assignments, including driving, experiencing an entryway, opening a valve, punching through a divider and managing rubble and stairs.

The difficulties confronting them in Pomona, only east of Los Angeles, were planned particularly considering Fukushima and were intended to mimic conditions like the catastrophe at the atomic plant.

Altogether, 24 generally human-molded robots and their groups — 12 from the United States, five from Japan, three from South Korea, two from Germany and one each from Italy and Hong Kong — won through to the finals.

Be that as it may, it was Team KAIST's most recent form of its HUBO — "HUmanoid roBOt" — that developed successful, beating its rivals from the United States to the $2 million paycheck.

Each of the three scored eight focuses however HUBO was six minutes in front of the Running Man (Atlas) robot from IHMC Robotics and more than 10 minutes speedier than Tartan Rescue's CHIMP.

HUBO has been created following 2002 and measures 80 kg (175 pounds), while standing 180 cm (70 inches) tall.

The group — from the South Korean city of Daejeon — says the robot's "uniqueness" is that it can change from a standing position to a bowing one intended for wheeled and quick movement.

Not all contenders were so effective, with a few breaking down or taking a ratt
