The Rescue Robot, called the Valkyrie, has a height of 1.9 meters, weighs nearly 130 kilograms and is designed to look like an iron character on the screen. A team from NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston says Valkyrie is designed and built for nine months.

According to Live Science, the robot was developed for use in helping victims, in the wake of natural disasters or other unexpected incidents. To test the ability to perform this task before being put to work, the robot will be sent to the DARPA Robotics Challenge.

Here, the Valkyrie robot will experience real-life situations, which will happen in the event of a disaster or incident. Valkyrie's mission is to drive, clean up, lift, break walls to save strangers, and other emergency and other tasks under the rescue plan.

In addition to finishing capabilities that can help robots intervene in many terrestrial or catastrophic situations, robots can walk on Mars. Nicolaus Radford, head of the research team, said it is very likely that NASA will put the robot on the red planet before astronauts.

The robots will begin the preparation steps to facilitate the human footing of the explorer. By bringing the astronauts to Mars, robots will work with them and carry out research missions.

Previously, Robonaut was NASA's first humanoid robot to be posted to the International Space Station. However, the team said Valkyrie's technology is far ahead.
