NASA has exposed its new 'superhero' robot Valkyrie that could one day assist in exploring the planet Mars. It is designed to compete in a military competition worth $2 million. The contest is being organized by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, a military agency designed to advance technology.

To win the $2 million at the Robotics Challenge, the robot will have to prove that she is capable of performing various tasks that a normal human being can perform easily, such as walking on uneven flooring, climbing a ladder, using tools and driving.

The height of robot is 1.9-metres and it weighs 125 kilograms. As per IEEE, although the robot is asexual, but it has been designed to have an individuality of a female.

A site reported that Valkyrie has a distinct chest area, internal motors that glow and padding that guards it from a fall.

The axes of rotation in its joints are 44 degrees. It is powered by battery backpack that is able to make it work for an hour.

As per CNET, the Valkyrie is also proficient enough that it can walk on its own, pick up objects and control objects and tools.

Also, there is a facility that its left and right arms can be exchanged. This means if its arms are damaged they can be replaced very quickly.
