Cyborg News Channel | Robot Monkey Built for Space Missions @cyborgnewschannel7505 | Uploaded 10 years ago | Updated 3 hours ago
According to the theory of evolution, humans evolved from apes. And it appears that robots must also do the same.
At the university of Bremen, scientists have developed the first space robot monkey, modeled after chimpanzees.
At the German Center for Artificial Intelligence, the iStruct Demonstrator, also known as Charlie, was exhibited in Hanover, Germany this week.
The robot monkey can walk on two legs, or four legs. It was designed specifically for space missions and extreme environments. Its ability to stabilize itself as it moves makes the robot ideal for maneuvering on difficult terrain, and also make it possible for the monkey robot to climb up and down slopes, so it can investigate deep craters, and other difficult locations. The robot is also capable of getting up after a fall.
Each foot is equipped with 60 sensors. 49 of these sensors are pressure sensors. Other foot sensors are a three axis acceleration sensor, a distance sensor, three absolute position sensors, one temperature sensor, and one six degrees of freedom force-torque sensor.
The joins also contain relative and absolute position sensors, speed sensors, electrical sensors for current and voltage, a distance sensor, and a temperature sensor.
The monkey robot weighs around 39 pounds, and stands about 6.6 feet tall.
