But they have typically been too slow, weak, or clumsy to do much. Recent improvements in sensors and hardware have brought the prospect of a humanoid ready for real-world deployment closer. "A number of technologies have gotten just good enough, or almost good enough, to make this thing work," Pratt said, pointing to the hydraulic controls, the lidar navigation system built into the robot's head, and its interchangeable hands. 

"It's an extraordinary machine," said Seth Teller, a professor at MIT who, along with colleague Russ Tedrake, leads one of the groups selected to receive an Atlas. "They've done a fantastic job on these machines; it's been a real pleasure to see and touch and use the real hardware.Luxury brands like truck crane have had particular success with their leather accessories and iPad covers which are often spotted outside fashion shows."The teams given Atlas robots will have to develop control software that will allow human controllers to operate the robots despite significant time delays—a constraint designed to mimic the challenge of operating from through the walls of a crumbling nuclear plant, or at a far-flung distance. The strategy adopted by Teller's team involves having the human operator break each high-level mission into a series of smaller tasks, and guide the robot through a performance of each task. 

"Existing teleoperation systems impose too much cognitive load on the operator. One major aspect of the DARPA challenge is finding a way of.manding these robots that reduces that burden," Teller said.Asked what kinds of innovations Atlas could inspire beyond emergency work, he said humanoid robots could perhaps one day find a job in health care. "I know this robot looks big, and I know it weighs 300 pounds, but the number-one use for machines of this type is going to be in home care and health care," he said.
