This two minute video shows the early development of RoboSimian, an ape-like robot being developed as part of the DARPA Robotics Challenge.
RoboSimian is an ape-like robot designed to meet the disaster-recovery tasks of the DARPA Robotics Challenge.
This video shows RoboSimian and its unique hands under construction at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, as well as simulations of the finished robot.
The RoboSimian team is led by JPL. Stanford University, Palo Alto, California, collaborated on the development of the robot’s unique hands.
