The primary technical goal of the DRC is to develop ground robots capable of executing complex tasks in dangerous, degraded, human-engineered environments. Competitors in the DRC are expected to focus on robots that can use standard tools and equipment commonly available in human environments, ranging from hand tools to vehicles, with an emphasis on adaptability to tools with diverse specifications. | The primary technical goal of the DRC is to develop ground robots capable of executing complex tasks in dangerous, degraded, human-engineered environments.

What is DARPA?
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) 's primary innovation engine. The Agency undertakes projects and scientific investigations aiming to create innovative technologies that address current practical problems. One of the focus areas of DARPA's Tactical Technology Office (TTO) is the development of unmanned systems to improve navigation in dynamic conditions, extend range and endurance, and increase adaptive autonomous operations. The DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC) is all about that.
What is the DARPA Robotics Challenge?
Some natural or man-made disasters, due to grave risks to the health and wellbeing of rescue and aid workers, prove too great for timely and effective human response. The DARPA Robotics Challenge intends to extend humanitarian aid to victims of disasters by promoting innovation in robotic technology for disaster-response operations.
The primary technical goal of the DRC is to develop ground robots capable of executing complex tasks in dangerous, degraded, human-engineered environments. Competitors in the DRC are expected to focus on robots that can use standard tools and equipment commonly available in human environments, ranging from hand tools to vehicles, with an emphasis on adaptability to tools with diverse specifications.
The DRC kicked off on October 24, 2012, and has three planned competitions, one virtual followed by two live. Events are planned for June 2013, December 2013 and December 2014. (See the DARPA Robotics Challenge details)
Our team
The Br Robotics Team is lead by Dr. Alberto Ferreira De Souza from the High Performance Computing Laboratory (LCAD) of the Federal University of Espirito Santo (UFES), located in the city of Vitoria, Brazil. The team congregates several professors and students working on face recognition, autonomous vehicles and humanoid robot researches. (See the team members list)
