NASA developed the Valkyrie robot to build a human base on Mars

After attending DARPA's search and rescue robot competition last year, NASA continues to develop Valkyrie as a stand-alone, autonomous robot aimed at supporting astronauts in missions. travel on long journeys in space, and ultimately send it to Mars to build a base on which to pave the way for a human landing in the future.

The Valkyrie is a 1.8-meter tall robot and weighs 136kg.

Developed in collaboration with NASA, universities in Massachusetts and Scotland, the Valkyrie is a 1.8-meter-tall robot and weighs 136kg. It is based on the image of a woman, on the body integrated four cameras and more than 200 sensors, combined with computer systems to help it can handle a variety of tasks.

A few years ago, the Valkyrie was designed by NASA to participate in the search and rescue robots competition held by the US Department of Defense. However, it has now been further developed to carry out space missions for astronauts. A little further, NASA hopes to enhance Valkyrie's ability to work, while giving it the ability to work independently to perform missions or take long-distance voyages in space.

More importantly, NASA said the ultimate goal of the project was to send a Valkyrie to Mars, to build bases, buildings and facilities, enabling people to settle in. future.
