Momaro
Disaster-response robot with an anthropomorphic upper body (two adult-sized 7-DoF arms with four-finger grippers and a sensor head with a rotating 3D laser scanner and cameras) on four compliant legs that end in steerable wheel pairs, so it can drive and also step over obstacles. Runtime is given as about 1.5-2 hours; it is a centaur-style layout (wheeled legs rather than two walking legs), included as a humanoid upper body on a wheeled base.
