The colossal Japanese Robot for construction assistance

Posted By: Atul Roach | May 29 2009

Construction Androids can be fun especially when the colossal size does not baffle you. It is amazing how such large chunks of machinery are gelled together as a robot to help assist people on construction sites. The one you see atop has been developed by a Japanese construction firm and functions as an automated crane with 29 functioning joints to furnish the requisite construction materials. In dangerous situations, the four-legged, two-armed robot can be controlled through a remote, thanks to an integrated three-chip CCD camera. It should be out in the Japanese Market pretty soon.
