The WPI-CMU robot is based on the Boston Dynamics built Atlas Humanoid Robot. This robot is 7-foot tall and weighs 400 pounds. The robot is optimized based on full body control for the Atlas Robot and features include 3D walking based on online optimization.
Team WPI-CMU strived to foster a dedicated and well-managed team, composed of students, professors, and professional engineers, collaborating to discover and lead the state-of-the-art research enabling advanced human-level performance for the Atlas humanoid. The team aimed to publicly demonstrate the successful completion of tasks related to major disaster response with the intent of leading to relevant peer-reviewed publications, credibility for future DARPA solicitations, and the ultimate goal of winning the DARPA Robotics Challenge. http://www.theroboticschallenge.org/
