The Faculty has formed a self-funded (DARPA track D) “Team HKU” (name
to be later determined) comprised of a group of researchers, from both
inside and outside the Faculty
Team HKU will use a Boston Dynamics “Atlas” robot, and a laboratory to support our work is undergoing preparation. Team HKU will have advantages of an assured spot in the final competition, use of the best robot for the competition, and early access to key components.

DARPA is announcing the results of the Virtual Robotics Challenge (VRC) portion of the DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC). The six top teams will each be receiving a bunch of money, plus a Boston Dynamics ATLAS robot of their very own, which they'll use to compete in the DRC trials later this year. Let's see who won!

In December, teams from around the world will send their state-of-the-art robots through eight trials. The winners from this month's competition will be competing using a DARPA-supplied robot, which will be loaded with their custom software.
The winners are given use of an Atlas robot, developed by Boston Dynamics and based on the company's Petman platform. The Atlas is impressive, Pratt said. "It will be able to walk on its own, balance on its own. I've seen it take a hit from a medicine ball and not fall over."
