US-SCIENCE-ROBOSIMIAN
This NASA/JPL/Caltech handout image obtained January 15, 2014 shows the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's official entry, "RoboSimian", as it awaited the first event at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Robotics Challenge. The challenge was created to develop ground robots that can work in dangerous, degraded, human-engineered environments. Also known as "Clyde," the robot is four-footed but can also stand on two feet. It has four general-purpose limbs and hands capable of mobility and manipulation. Multiple points of contact increase stability during operations that range from climbing stairs to turning a valve. The design also allows RoboSimian to reverse direction without reorienting itself. Sixteen teams from around the world came together at Florida’s Homestead Miami Speedway, in Florida December 20-21, 2013 == RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE / MANDATORY CREDIT: "AFP PHOTO / NASA/JPL/CALTECH / NO SALES / NO MARKETING / NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS / DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS ==
