This "Pet-Proto" is a predecessor to DARPA's Atlas robot. By using a combination of decision-making and enhanced human suggestion, the robot is designed to face obstacles similar to what it will face in the DARPA Robotic Challenge. The goal - to create a robot that can be used in extreme conditions when humans would be put in too much danger such as search and rescue in hostile environments.
