В Южной Корее разработали прототип гигантского робота, управляемого человеком

Компания из Южной Кореи Korea Future Technology разрабатывает гигантского робота-шагохода, управляемого человеком. Над его дизайном работает отечественный 3D-художник Виталий Булгаров, который опубликовал видеозаписи работы шагохода.

Разработчики считают, что такая машина найдёт практическое применение в промышленности. Робот достигает 4 метров в высоту и весит почти полторы тонны.

На своей странице в Facebook Булгаров рассказал, что пока не вправе разглашать подробности проекта. Художник пообещал вскоре опубликовать свои концепт-иллюстрации в высоком разрешении.

4m tall robot walking test! The ground is shaking when you're standing next to it 🙂 So excited!

Human-machine interface and arm motion test! "METHOD-2" large manned robot project for which I had a pleasure to make the design. Very fortunate to be part of the incredible Hankook Mirae Technology team.

Thank you all very much for kind comments and positive response! To answer one of the most common questions what is this for I'll just say for now that from a mechanical/software/hardware/electric engineering stand point it was quite an ambitious project that required developing and enhancing a lot of technologies along the way. That growth opens up many real world applications where everything we have been learning so far on this robot can be applied to solve real world problems. (I'm not just talking bipedal robots) One of such projects is already in development, but I'm not allowed to say more at this moment. For those who thought it was fake here is a phone video where I walked too close to it and had to be pulled back lol More info at http://hankookmirae.tech #hankookmiraetechnology #koreafuturetechnology #robot #mech #walktest
