DARwin Uses LabVIEW to Play Soccer

http://bit.ly/bTRmeX

Students at the Robotics & Mechanisms Laboratory (RoMeLa) at Virginia Tech have used National Instruments LabVIEW to develop DARwIn (Dynamic Anthropomorphic Robot with Intelligence), a humanoid robot capable of bipedal walking and human-like movement. DARwIn is a research platform specifically designed for studying robotic locomotion movement. This robot will also serve as the platform for Virginia Tech's first entry into the 2007 RoboCup competition.

LabVIEW was used in each iteration of DARwIn and this is a great example of how NI products are being used in academia to prepare tomorrow's engineers.

As far as I know, no shoe or sports drink endorsement deals have yet been signed.
