The Ape for Disaster, RoboSimian has been created by NASA



NASA has created an ape, RoboSimian, which has four limbs, seven cameras and a LiDAR system, according to Digital Marketing Agency reported.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is working on a different kind of robot for disaster response that's designed to move like an ape.

One more thing, this disaster-response robot is competing in the DARPA Robotics Challenge finals.

“It is intentionally the tortoise relative to the other hares in the competition. We feel that a very stable and deliberate approach suites our technical strengths and provides a model for one vital element of the 'ecosystem' of robots that we expect to be deployed to disaster scenarios in the future,” said JPL's Brett Kennedy, who is supervisor of the Robotic Vehicles and Manipulators Group.
