NASA's Valkyrie robot
Space Robotics Challenge was a programming competition organized by NASA in 2017 where teams had to program the humanoid robot Valkyrie. A total of 93 teams participated in the qualification stage and 20 teams qualified for the finals[1]. The competition's objective was to program Valkyrie in a simulation running in the Gazebo robotics simulator[2]. In simulation, the robot had to complete several tasks to fix a base on Mars. The winning team was Coordinated Robotics and its only member, Kevin Knoedler[3]. The winner received the sum of $125000 US dollars and a bonus of $50000 dollars for completing all checkpoints. The competition was very similar to the Virtual Robotics Challenge, part of DARPA Robotics Challenge[4].
