A 13-foot tall robot that walks like a human, making the ground around it shake, could soon become a reality. Seoul-based
robotics company 'Korea Future Technology' has completed the first
tests of its giant human-like robot, called METHOD-1.The robot, which has been developed in secret for two years, walks by mimicking the actions of its pilot sitting inside.
Resembling
the giant machines that appeared in the 2009 film Avatar and the power
loader from the 1986 film Aliens, the robot was the creation of Vitaly
Bulgarov, a designer who has previously worked on sci-fi fims including
the 2014 remake of Robocop, Transformers 4. But now his work has moved from fiction into real life.
'I'm
excited to share some updates and work-in-progress motion tests for the
4m [13 foot] tall, 1.5t heavy manned robot I have been working on with a
Seoul based robotics company, Korea Future Technology,' Mr Bulgarov
wrote on his Facebook page.
The robot is so heavy that it makes the ground around it shake when it takes steps, Mr Bulgarov said.
