The world's largest movable humanoid robot is now on show in Yokohama. Standing 18m high, it's a full-scale reproduction of the giant robot made famous by the popular "Mobile Suit Gundam" animated TV series. Three engineers who also are Gundam fans took on the unprecedented challenge of creating a real-life robot that would move dynamically just like the original animation. The development of this giant humanoid took six years of trial and error, but now at last, the result of their project is ready to roll.

I remembered watching the Astro Boy episode when I was a kid, and now, we have a Gundam episode.

It's funny how the childhood memories of Japanese scientists can inspire them to make a giant robot materialize.

Impressive stuff. alas I only saw the immobile concrete version in 2017, this i'd like to see in real life. it does means that giant robots truly aren't far away. and that is a god thing.

Don't worry, everybody. They gave it a six-foot extension cord, so it can't chase us.
