    I want one now!!!!!!!!

    You have 30 seconds to comply...


    Seems to be a good day in the world of robotics, first GuardRobo, the crime-fighting champion of mall security, then this 3.4M tall walking gun-platform. Fortunately, unlike its security guard brethren, the Land Walker is controlled directly by a human, is based on the fictitious Gundam cartoon character and only capable of firing foam bullets. Phew. It weighs in at 1 ton and can walk forwards, backwards and sideways at an unthreatening 1.5kph. And if you think the neighbourhood kids are becoming a bit of a pest then Masaaki Nagumo will happily custom build you your very own Land Walker for a the princely sum of 36m yen (about £186,000).

    i've seen a video of it in action. in fact it doesn't lift its feet, instead it just shimmys along, few years of bipedal movement yet
