Valkyrie - Nasa's 6ft 'superhero' robot that weighs almost 20 STONE and could one day be sent to space
Nasa has unveiled its entry for this year's DARPA Robotics Challenge and it's a 6ft 2in so-called 'superhero' robot called Valkyrie.
Valkyrie can walk by itself, pick up objects and even use tools - and one day the advanced machine could be used to save lives in war or disaster zones.
The humanoid has been designed with female characteristics and its various built-in cameras, recording and sonar equipment are powered by a 2kWh battery.
It is called an automaton because it can carry out tasks autonomously.
