History of ZMP
The company was founded in January 2001 based on the results of a study carried out within the Kitano Symbiotic System Project, under the jurisdiction of the Japanese company MEXT. Their first product was the humanoid robot PINO in 2001. The name of the company comes from the point of zero moment, a physical quantity associated with the dynamics of systems with legs. Most recently, they released the humanoid robot Nuvo in 2005 and the musical robot Miuro in 2006. In 2009, a research platform for the next generation of RoboCar vehicles was released. In 2008, ZMP and 3 other Japanese robotics companies (Tmsuk Co Ltd, Vstone Co Ltd and Business Design Laboratory Co Ltd) teamed up to promote robotic technology in everyday life. This event was named "Association for the creation of a market for future generation robots". In July 2015, Sony teamed up with ZMP Inc. to form a joint venture called Aerosense to create commercial drones for exploration and inspection of hard-to-reach (e.g. remote) areas. The following month, Aerosense released videos of two prototypes, the AC-DTO1-E VTOL, and the AS-MCO1-P Quadcopter.
