The robot cat explores the planet

In the laboratories of the artificial intelligence research center (DFKI), scientists in Bremen, Germany, are working on the invention of a four-legged robot called the "Dutch Forschungzentrum fur Kunstliche Interlligenz". under the name Aramies.

Aramisian robots will be used on alien planets for functions such as crawling and even climbing. Aramies are shaped like a cat and this is also the intention of the researchers to take the symbol in the world of animals.

With its elastic aluminum legs, the Aramies cat can cross the deepest holes, the steep cliffs. For example, on Mars, Aramies robots can explore areas where no robots previously came.

According to Professor Frank Kirchner, the little animals have no brains to think about, yet they can have very complex movements, and that is also the case with Aramies. Encountering obstacles, Aramies will avoid. The movements of the Aramies on soft or muddy soil differ from those of cattle, or on hard rock.

Compared to the robots that are equipped with heavy wheelchairs now exploring Mars, Kirchner said that Aramies have more advantages because in areas where scientists want to find out, the Rover Robots Monkeys can be reached, such as narrow creeks or vertical walls of volcanic craters.

Weight of only 34kg and with four legs with a robot Aramies cat claw is not difficult at all to move and balance while doing the task of collecting rock samples brought to the research scientists. But maybe Aramies can last a lifetime, as there are so many problems to overcome, such as how well Aramies are designed to withstand extreme weather. , when it is too cold or hot as the furnace in the universe.

In addition to the tasks on the planets and possible future on the moon, scientists are also keen to use the functions of Aramies cats both in buildings, in factories ...
