This generation we have the most advanced technology than we ever had, we have new products that help us do virtually everything. N.A.S.A has created a new robot called the Valkyrie that can save you from disaster, and even complete missions. The Valkyrie is of much use, and it is mainly designed for the DARPA competition; DARPA stands for Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. As you can see here we are trying to create robots and machine to help us to function better and protect us, and the Valkyrie will be a good start to this era. In the next paragraphs we will see how the Valkyrie robot functions mechanically, dynamically, and electrically.
The Valkyrie robot has mechanical function, how it moves, functions, is built out of, and etc. The Valkyrie …show more content…
The Valkyrie robot is 6’ 2” in height, and 130kg in weight (Nasa JSC Team Valkyrie). The reason that the robot is this size and weight is that is because they are trying to match the size and weight of an average human being. The Valkyrie robot is a 44 degree freedom robot with a 7 degree freedom arm, 6 degree freedom hand, and a 3 degree freedom pelvis (Valkyrie:NASA's Superhero Robot). The robot can wiggle its finger, move its arms, and move its pelvis just like a human, they wanted to show the movements of a human in the robot. The Valkyrie robot has two female breasts just like a female. The breasts show that the robot is a female, the team wanted to show that they are not sexist and if most of the robots are going to be male there should be a female robot, and it also shows how the robot relates to a woman. As it stated in the last paragraph, the Valkyrie wears a fabric, but the fabric isn’t just to protect the robot. The fabric makes to robot feel soft and it hides the metal limbs so it makes the robot feel and look more natural than a regular robot. Now were going to see in the next paragraph how the Valkyrie robot functions
