	abstract = {The paper describes the system developed by researchers from MIT for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency{\textquoteright}s (DARPA) Virtual Robotics Challenge (VRC), held in June 2013. The VRC was the first competition in the DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC), a program that aims to {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}develop ground robotic capabilities to execute complex tasks in dangerous, degraded, human-engineered environments{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}. The VRC required teams to guide a model of Boston Dynamics{\textquoteright} humanoid robot, Atlas, through driving, walking, and manipulation tasks in simulation. Team MIT{\textquoteright}s user interface, the Viewer, provided the operator with a unified representation of all available information. A 3D rendering of the robot depicted its most recently estimated body state with respect to the surrounding environment, represented by point clouds and texture-mapped meshes as sensed by on-board LIDAR and fused over time.},
