While disaster robots were making their way through the DARPA Robotics Challenge courses, over in the exhibit area there was another competition taking place: an endurance challenge, also sponsored by DARPA, where robots slowly walked on treadmills with the goal of demonstrating how ultra-efficient they could be. One of the robots was DURUS, developed by SRI International in Silicon Valley. DURUS is designed to operate with 20 to 30 times more energy efficiency than conventional walking robots like Boston Dynamics' Atlas. This capability would allow a full size humanoid to operate for up to six hours on a single charge.
