The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster and other recent events have led the U.S. Department of Defense to issue a challenge for humanoid disaster-response robots.

There's Thor, RoboSimian, CHIMP, Hubo and a pack of other contenders. Some are big, all are brawny, and each has keen powers of perception and dexterity.

They're not superheroes, per se, but they do have superhuman powers.

They are among the custom robots competing in Track 1 of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Robotics Challenge, an event designed to spur the development of robotics technology to aid in disaster-response operations.
