Title: Vaudeville Mech.
Post by: Nemisous on July 27, 2012, 03:28:17 PM
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Suidobashi Heavy Industry (an impressive name for what is in reality a small group of dedicated giant robot afficionados), is in the process of building the first 3.8 meter (12 ft 5 inch) tall, 4,500 kg (4.9 ton) single-occupant mecha.  The ambitious group is made up of Kogoro Kurata (production), Wataru Yoshizaki (control circuitry), and Yusuke Kitani.  They’ve opted for V-SIDO software to handle the mecha’s master-slave controls (developed by Asura Engineering), and plan to have the mecha, named Vaudeville, fully operational by the end of this year.

As you can see in the photos Vaudeville is supported by four legs, each ending in a wheel.  The software will combine a smartphone, master-slave handle bars (for the arms), and a Microsoft Kinect sensor, allowing the pilot to rotate the cockpit (presumably with his head movement).  Furthermore, the group claims it will sell the savage beast with optional water gun, camo paint job, and so on to suit your personal needs.  You can see more photos and watch some crazy work-in-progress videos, including its giant hand crushing a box, after the break.
