German scientists have newly developed a robot space monkey

"IStruct Demonstrator" weighs 18 kg, and its articulated spine is connected to the trunk and pelvis, and foot and ankle, it's "joint" assembly with sensors to monitor environmental changes in the surface

German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence has developed a robot engineer, walking and climbing its way very similar to apes, the researchers now plan to send the robot to carry out investigation to explore the Moon

According to the British Daily Mail reported that the latest German scientists developed a space robot, its body structure is very similar to apes, and future investigations will be performed lunar colonization missions. Soon the moon will become the "mechanical ape" colonies, staged real version of "Planet of the Apes."

Zhezhi ape research team has built a robot, and in the Artificial Intelligence Research Center conducted a test simulated lunar base, allegedly, this four-legged robot standing structure is very stable and can cross obstacles or small hill, very suitable for the Moon Surface surveying tasks. In addition, this robot can reared monkeys stand up, the use of arms collected samples, or over obstacles in front. Its articulated spine connecting the trunk and pelvis, to the foot and ankle, where each "joint" are equipped with sensors which can observe the response surface structure.

"IStruct Demonstrator" is very similar to the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Robotics Challenge contest designed "gorilla robot", however, the German scientists developed the robot with the latest links-style spine, which works like a six-axis torque sensor, which The research project is mainly focused on achieving intelligent mobile robot structure, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of complex walking robot. In 2009, the project leader Daniel - Kuhn has designed a similar robot called "little monkey", which has a similar four-legged walking ability, it is learned, "iStruct Demonstrator" will be held in August this year, the design complete.
