Valkyrie is the name of NASA’s humanoid robot, which is supposed to be used as an astronaut in future missions such as the Artemis mission or other missions. This humanoid robot will be tested in Australia.
According to Tekna’s technology and technology news service, Valkyrie will go to Australia from its base at the Johnson Space Center to undergo extensive tests. The transfer of this robot to Australia is due to NASA’s contract with a company called Woodside Energy.
This company is responsible for the software development of this robot. For this reason, in the upcoming tests, the development of skilled functions and the adaptation and remote care will be determined and its feedback will be determined.
This robot is supposed to improve the capabilities related to remote operations. Also, Valkyrie can increase the safety of operations and personnel by improving the efficiency of maritime and remote operations. It can also be used in the Artemis mission or ground missions.
NASA hopes that the experiments conducted by this Australian company will provide training for them in the field of working in contaminated and dangerous conditions such as the surface of the planets and the moon. In missions, this robot is supposed to carry out tasks such as inspection and maintenance of infrastructure and factories with resources and materials for production.
