Hajime Research Institute Plans To Build 4 Meter Tall Humanoid

Robots have done every thing we would have considered impossible for them to accomplish. Play soccer, build buildings, dance, play instruments and what not! When something is so cool why is it that we should restrict it and its size? It is not an impossible task to build really huge ones but yeah they do require a great deal of effort and a Japanese company is trying to accomplish just that.



Hajime Sakamoto, president of the humanoid-robot-building Hajime Research Institute has expressed desire to build a very tall humanoid. Some thing that is even taller than the existing tallest humanoid which is 7 foot in height. It is called Hajime 33. It was also built by Hajime Research Institute. Check out the video of this robot playing soccer -



Now they want to create something twice as tall. The product they desire to achieve is a “13 foot tall iron giant”. The scientists have already started planning for the 4 meter robot. The humanoid will have a built-in cockpit. This kind of a robot is called “mobile suits” in the robot anime “Gundam”. So they are actually attempting to build a life size version of the character. Basically it will look like an autobot. If all goes well, two more versions. They will be a 26 feet one (8meters) and a 59 feet one (18meters). Though the ideas are great and look promising they are in need of sponsors for their venture. If they manage to get all they require the result will be rewarding for sure.
