Japanese engineer builds giant robot


Japanese specialist Masaaki Nagumo had constantly longed for suiting up as a robot from "Portable Suit Gundam", his most loved movement arrangement growing up. Presently he has made it a reality by making a goliath humanoid roused by the sci-fi establishment. 

Created at Sakakibara Kikai, a creator of cultivating hardware, LW-Mononofu is a 8.5-meter (28-feet) tall, two-legged robot tipping the scales at in excess of 7 tons. It contains a cockpit with screens and levers for the pilot to control the robot's arms and legs. 

"I figure this can be transformed into a business opportunity," Nagumo, 44, told Reuters, taking note of the fame of the notable arrangement that has produced motion pictures, manga, computer games and that's only the tip of the iceberg. 

Sakakibara Kikai has created different robots and diversion machines close by its principle horticulture hardware business and rents them out for around 100,000 yen ($930) 60 minutes, for children's birthday parties and other amusement, he said.
