Development of 4 Meter (13-foot) Humanoid Robot
In 2010, we started a project to develop a 13-foot humanoid robot with a built cockpit. The giant robot is the largest humanoid robot in the world and has ability to do biped walking. We are looking for sponsors for our project.
The latest news of this project is at the facebook "4M robot project" page.
Development Progress of the Giant Humanoid Robot
In 2002, we started a project to develop a humanoid robot (HAJIME ROBOT 1). We developed one meter (3-foot) humanoid robot (HAJIME ROBOT 25) in 2007, and two meter (7-foot) humanoid robot (HAJIME ROBOT 33) which is the tallest humanoid robot in the world in 2009.
Now we develop a four meter (13-foot) humanoid robot with a built cockpit. Such a humanoid robot with a built cockpit is called "Mobile Suits" in robot anime "GUNDAM".
Here are images with the development progress of 4 meter (13-foot) humanoid robot project below.
