Japan is leading the way once again in making childhood dreams a reality with a human-piloted, walking robot.
The Osaka-based Hajime Research Institute has built a 4-metre (13-foot) high, 300-kilogram (660-pound) prototype that’s guided from inside its chest cavity. The Hajime 43, shown off this summer on YouTube, can walk though currently at a lumbering pace. The feat itself looks rather promising as the company seeks to up the robot’s size.
