SHINTO, Nihon — Japanese engineer Masaaki Nagumo had e'er dreamed of suiting upwards equally a robot from “Mobile Suit Gundam,” his favorite animation serial growing up. Now he has made it a reality past times creating a giant humanoid inspired past times the scientific discipline fiction franchise.

Developed at Sakakibara Kikai, a maker of farming machinery, LW-Mononofu is a 28-foot tall, two-legged robot weighing inward at to a greater extent than than vii tons. It contains a cockpit with monitors as well as levers for the airplane pilot to command the robot’s arms as well as legs.

“I intend this tin hold upwards turned into a concern opportunity,” Nagumo, 44, told Reuters, noting the popularity of the iconic serial that has spawned movies, manga, video games as well as more.
Sakakibara Kikai has developed other robots as well as amusement machines amongst its primary agriculture equipment concern as well as rents them out for close $930 an hour, for kids’ birthday parties as well as other entertainment, he said.

The society has created robots equally varied equally the 11-foot tall Landwalker, the smaller Kid’s Walker Cyclops as well as the MechBoxer boxing motorcar – but the mighty Mononofu towers over them all as well as executes to a greater extent than complex movements.

It tin displace its fingers as well as plough its upper trunk as well as walk frontwards as well as backward. It is no speedster, however, moving at less than 1 kilometer per hour, which is close one-half a mile per hour.

But what it lacks inward pace, it makes upwards for with power: the bazooka-like air gun on its correct arm shoots sponge balls at only about 87 miles per hour.

“As an anime-inspired robot that ane tin ride, I intend this is the biggest inward the world,” said Nagumo.
Mononofu, however, mightiness hold upwards a flake likewise large: it is unable to teach out the manufacturing flora without existence dismantled because it was built taller than the entrance.
