DARwIn the Humanoid Robot

DARwIn is a humanoid robot that plays soccer, set to take on other candidates from around the world in the 2007 Robocup competition. It was developed by a group of mechanical engineering students from Virginia Tech, in the Robotics & Mechanisms Laboratory, RoMeLa. The DARwIn humanoids are part of a whole group of robots developed at RoMeLa and their current research covers half a dozen prototypes based on the same technology as the Robocup team.
