DARPA Robotics Challenge Trials are coming up!

DARPA Robotics Challenge is held with the idea of generating research and development of robotic technologies that could be used in the future to overcome disasters. The teams have to design robots and make them accomplish specific tasks that are most likely to be done in disaster response operations. There are different steps in this competition that will last over a year. Last month, we learned that Carnegie Mellon University was selected to get funding support from DARPA for the next step of the Challenge. Their robot named CHIMP for CMU Highly Intelligent Mobile Platform is designed with Robotiq’s 3-Finger Adaptive Grippers as hands. Robotiq is therefore proud to be a part of this challenge.
