CHIMP Robot from NREC, Carnegie Mellon University 2013



It can walk on all four limbs or can walk on two limbs and use the other two limbs as hands. It is human size robot.


CHIMP's  normal mode of locomotion will be much like that of a tank, with the tracks of all four limbs on the ground. This configuration would offer a particular advantage when moving over debris and rough terrain. But CHIMP also can move on the treads of just two limbs when needed, such as when it must use its hand like limbs to open a valve, or to operate power tools.
