A design from the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (also known as DFKI) in Bremen, Germany, has landed on the chimpanzee as its model for unmanned lunar missions.
Its design -- called the iStruct Demonstrator and nicknamed "Charlie"
Ape's quadrupedal stance without losing the chimp's versatility in climbing, grasping and moving over all types of terrain.
The chimp's greatest asset is that it can choose which form of movement best fits the situation.
The project has also built Lunar craters in a lab to test the prototype.
Like a real chimp, the robot's feet and hands have multiple sensors and multiple points of contact.
3 individual force sensing resistor (FSR) sensors.
Six additional FSR-sensors used for collision detection.
