Super Robot of 4 meters to pilot

Detailed description

Here is Kuratas, a Japanese giant robot imagined by the company Suidobashi Heavy Industry and presented at the Wonder Festival in Chiba. This giant of scrap metal can host a human to pilot it, but can also be controlled by a smartphone with 3G.

The robot is equipped with an augmented reality system, coupled with an automatic aiming system that locks its target. The shooting is triggered by a smile (see the video below): beware of giggles… Its rotating machine gun can unload 6000 BB (airsoft) balls per minute… and not only, since it is equipped with other weapons (all non-lethal) as a water missile launcher. This behemoth is able to move with its legs mounted on wheels, and this up to 10 kilometers per hour. Run away, little pedestrian!

It will still cost 1,152,000 € to acquire this metal monster powered by 30 hydraulic pistons… This project, led by engineers Wataru Yoshizaki and Kogoro Kurata, required two years of work.
