„Rollin' Justin“

The mobile humanoid roboter, named "Rollin' Justin", with its compliant controlled light weight arms and its two four finger hands is an ideal experimental platform for current research issues, such as the capability to carry out complex manipulation tasks.The newly developed mobile platform allows the long range autonomous operation of the system.The individually movable, spring born wheels match the special requirements of “Justin's” upper body during manipulation tasks. PMD sensors and cameras allow the 3D reconstruction of the robot's environment and therefore enable Justin to perform given tasks autonomously.

The qualified teams

Extraordinary innovations in technology and science are the goal of the X PRIZE Foundation. The X PRIZE Foundation was founded in 1995 and has since then announced prizes which are privately sponsored and conducted competitions in various disciplines with the goal to inspire companies to go new ways and to further develop research and know-how. Among others the X PRIZE Foundation is looking for the world's most fuel-efficient car. And that means: the car must not consume more than 2.3 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres and be suitable for everyday use. Click here for more information!
