Scaling the heights of the Empire State Building is big. Changing the course of human history is huge.
When Henry Ford brought together the assembly line and automotive manufacturing, he started a revolution. When Steve Jobs melded phone, computer and app store, he ignited a new era in smart communications.
CHIMP stands at the threshold of a new world where advanced sensor technology, micro-computing, miniature high-power actuators, human form engineering, and world class software combine in radical new ways to change life's possibilities.
CHIMP.
Call it the eighth wonder of the world.
It's a jungle out there.
The human struggle against the forces of nature, man-made disasters, and the changing and challenging environments that confront us every day demand a more robust solution.
Imagine a robot so intelligent, autonomous, resourceful and rugged that disaster sites pose little threat, hazards can be systematically overcome, and chemical and radiation toxicity are non-factors on the way to rescue.
CHIMP. Man's best friend, reinvented.
All the dangerous moves.
Shake it. Break it. Quake it. And make it as difficult as it can be. When it’s risky business to go in first, CHIMP makes his move.
Like a tank, he can move on tracks. Like a human, he can climb on ladders. Like an ape he can throw aside heavy debris. And like the advanced artificial intelligence he carries, he can make task-level decisions even when he’s not in contact with his controllers.
That rocks.
And CHIMP continues to roll.
The origin of species.
The code and creativity being developed for CHIMP is a technology transfer away from a new world of robotic potential that could see CHIMPs in industry, CHIMPs in senior care, even CHIMPs in space.There is literally nothing like the CHIMP platform. Developed from the ground up by the world’s top roboticists from the Robotics Institute — the world leader in robotics research & CHIMP is generation one of a new template for highly intelligent mobile robots.
Invest in world-changing technology, and let the CHIMPs fall where they may.
CHIMP. Man’s best friend, reinvented.
Into the abyss with perception, mobility, dexterity, endurance and strength beyond man. And something else. An autonomy and decision-making ability that breaks with everything that went before.
The next evolution in the history of man is here. CHIMP.
Robotic helpmate. Disaster hero. Stunt double. Intelligent agent. And a revolutionary humanoid companion with opposable thumbs.
CHIMP changes everything. Two thumbs up.

Some tasks are relatively easy for humans, but extremely difficult for robots. Performing them requires significant advances in perception, supervised autonomy, decision-making, mobility, dexterity, strength and endurance.
Beyond disaster response, the application of CHIMP’s potential is limited only by the human imagination.

Tools, doorways and stairs are designed for human movements. Valves, levers, switches and controls are engineered for human intelligence.
That’s why CHIMP is designed and engineered to move and think &emdash; not like a human, but better.
The functionality of CHIMP’s extremities and the intelligence of CHIMP’s circuitry transforms the way robots engage with changing environments, performing assignments with more autonomy than ever before.
The code and creativity developed for CHIMP is the natural evolution of robotic potential.
There is literally nothing like CHIMP.
Developed from the ground up by the world’s top roboticists, CHIMP is a generation of one and a new template for highly intelligent mobile robots.
Become part of the team. For the evolution to continue, investors and sponsors are vital.
CHIMP’s team is 50 members strong, drawing from NREC technical staff, as well as faculty, staff and students from The Robotics Institute. A core group of about 10 people work full-time on the project.
But they need your help. Invest in world-changing technology, and be a part of the next evolution of humankind.
You need
CHIMP.
CHIMP
needs you.
