Tech Article 12/13

NASA unveils Valkyrie, a 6-foot 2-inch, 275-pound rescue robot. The 'bot, the winner of the DARPA Robotics Challenge, a contest designed to find the life-saving robot of tomorrow, will soon undergo a test to see if it can perform tasks like climbing a ladder and using tools. Valkyrie uses its three-fingered hands to manipulate objects, and it's loaded with cameras and sensors so it can eventually operate as autonomously as possible. Hopefully, this turns out to be a great device to help us with space exploration and more.
