Obezyanopodobny robot from NASA in 2015 to take part in the competition DARPA

RoboSimian , the robot from NASA, will leave in June 2015 at the annual competition DARPA Robotics Challenge . The team developing the robot for 2 years. RoboSimian moves on four legs with a lot of "joints". He is able to step over obstacles and move over rough terrain, walking on four "legs".

The competition DARPA Robotics Challenge competing teams, creating robots that have to act in dangerous situations close to the urban catastrophe. Whether it be a natural disaster, war or terrorism - robot to analyze debris, climb over piles of rubbish, open doors and operate the various levers and bars. This year, the robots also have to get into the car, hold it for some distance and climb back cut with tools wall, open the valve in the pipe.
