Naturally, being able to navigate broken terrain is a
major consideration for a robot working in a disaster area, but the task
is especially hard for bipedal robots like Atlas. If it can't avoid
objects like the planks and rope in the video, it must be able to go
over them without falling.It doesn't quite accomplish that, and at the moment the Atlas falls "often" when traversing such obstacles. The attachment above prevents it from falling and damaging itself, though the rope doesn't actually support any of the robot's weight.
The first real Robotics Challenge trials will be held at Homestead Speedway in Florida on Dec. 20th and 21st. It's open to the public and free to attend, so local robotics enthusiasts can come and see a few state-of-the-art robots trying to drive, operate machinery and get across rough terrain. More information on the event will appear here as DARPA makes it
