Personal Mobile Suit Gundam is now available for 3.4 Million
Technology is unwinding with astonishing swiftness and things that we once perceived to be unattainable are slowly entering the realm of reality.
Tokyo-based startup Tsubame Industries has developed a 4.5-meter-tall (14.8-foot) four-wheeled robot that has remarkable similarities to the popular anime and manga series Mobile Suit Gundam.
The robot called ARCHAX, named after the avian dinosaur archaeopteryx, will provide its user with outside images using the cameras hooked on the product’s exterior.
Inside the robot, four screens provide its user with a total 360-degree view of its surroundings. It can be used to maneuver the arms and hands of the robot with joysticks from inside its torso. Considering its immense size, you would be surprised to discover its speed.
Archax comes prebuilt with two modes, the upright “robot mode” and the “vehicle mode,” which would enable it to move at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour.
While this model is built to depict the potential of robots, the creator, Ryo Yoshida, the 25-year-old chief executive of Tsubame Industries, hopes to enhance and use future models for disaster relief and space exploration.
The robots are obtainable for 3.4 million dollars, which will get you two Bugatti Veyrons.
