According to NASA, Valkyrie was designed and built by the engineering directorate at the Johnson Space Center. The aim was to compete in the 2013 DARPA Robotics Challenge.

Its name comes from Norse mythology. The agency says the rugged humanoid robot runs entirely on electricity. It is built to work in spaces designed for humans but degraded or damaged.

The team drew on its experience with Robonaut 2. It designed and built the robot in 15 months, NASA says.

Valkyrie can be plugged into mains power or run on battery. According to NASA, its custom battery gives it about one hour of operation.
