wmkjr Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Iron man + scout trooper + ASIMO + Halo enforcer armor= Valkyrie Taken from the link (with a little editting ): "One of the goals of the DARPA contest is to create robots that can take over from humans in certain situations without needing any special accommodations, which is why the robot is humanoid."
