    Anyone who has ever been to Tokyo and has a bisschenwas for technology is already in front of this giant robot Gestandenhaben: Gundam, named after Japanese anime universe of same name. Stands directly in front of an eight-storey shopping mall and makes this fastklein work. And when you stand in front of this Gigantenaufschaut, you have to think of all science fiction stories with robots UndMaschinenmutanten and ask yourself dreaming: How would it be to sit in Kopfsolch of a combat robot, to control it?

    For ors is no longer a dream. Recently took place in a secret place to a GeheimenZeit a battle between two robots, which is gesteuertwerden by people. The counterparts are American robot manufacturer Megabots and Japanese designer Suidobashi Heavy Industries. Both companies make such machines, with which y might someday be able to target regular tournaments. The current duel could be first step.

    DieProvokation went from USA two years ago, where tinkerers wanted to compete with older model from Japan: “Suidobashi, we have a huge robot, you have a huge robot. You know what’s going to happen now. We challenge you to a duel. “

    Kogoro Kurata, chief of Suidobashi Heavy Industries, countered: “Build something in GroßenDimensionen and put rifles on it. Typical American! ” Not only does this better, he will also defend national honour. “Giant robots are a thing from Japan. We must not lose this match. ” The only condition of Kogoro Kurata for battle: to be in Mêlée style Müsstesie, i.e. melee, without any constricting rules.

    if ( typeof AdController !== ‘undefined’ && !window.Zeit.isMobileView()) { if ( !document.getElementById( ‘iqadtile4’ ) ) { var elem = document.createElement( ‘div’ ); elem.id = ‘iqadtile4’; elem.className = “ad ad-desktop ad-desktop–4 ad-desktop–4-on-article”; elem.setAttribute(‘data-banner-type’, ‘desktop’); elem.setAttribute(‘data-banner-label’, ‘Anzeige’); document.getElementById(‘ad-desktop-4’).parentNode.appendChild(elem); AdController.render(‘iqadtile4’); if ( window.console && typeof window.console.info === ‘function’ ) { window.console.info(‘AdController ‘ AdController.VERSION ‘ tile 4 desktop’) } } } if ( typeof AdController !== ‘undefined’ && window.Zeit.isMobileView()) { if ( !document.getElementById( ‘iqadtile4’ ) ) { var elem = document.createElement( ‘div’ ); elem.id = ‘iqadtile4’; elem.className = “ad ad-mobile ad-mobile–4 ad-mobile–4-on-article”; elem.setAttribute(‘data-banner-type’, ‘mobile’); document.getElementById(‘ad-mobile-4’).parentNode.appendChild(elem); AdController.render(‘iqadtile4’); if ( window.console && typeof window.console.info === ‘function’ ) { window.console.info(‘AdController ‘ AdController.VERSION ‘ tile 4 mobile’) } } }

    This is Auchschon one of first curiosities of this duel: none of manufacturers knows Sorecht what to prepare for his counterpart. Videos are circulating online, but are se models complete? Japanese robot Kurata is known to be nearly four feet high, rolling up and reaching a top speed of 10 km/h. The specially developed V-sido software allows you to move torso and arms from cockpit, which is located in middle. The four rollers Lassensich toger and apart, reby increasing height position of Cockpitsverstellbar. The engine refuels diesel.

    And n sindda weapons: so-called Lohas launcher – supposedly Ökofreundlich undsicher for humans, but still dangerous for or robots – SchießtWasserpatronen AB. He should not be particularly precise, but rar according to DemSchrotflintenprinzip. Added to this is twin Gatlin gun, which can fire 600 lead cartridges in minute. It is triggered by a smile of pilot imcockpit, identified by a camera connected to System V-sido. On or side of Kurata, enemy can be captured and targeted by means of a camera tracking.

    Megabotsmeint to be able to beat it. In cockpit of American challenger, codenamed Eagle Prime, two pilots fit, but re is probably less high-tech – neir tracking opponent by camera nor shooting by smiling Scheinenmöglich. But robot is heavier and bigger, moves like EineRaupe forward, has left a Pistolenarm with color cartridges and a hand claw. In a menacing way, it acts like a crossroads of tanks and demUngeheuer of Loch Ness. Perhaps Megabot Kurata will simply roll over.

    Will possibly higher finesse of robot Kurata suffice? Siemuss says Kogoro Kurata. He can’t be sure. DerSchöpfer von Kurata is son of a blacksmith, he grew up with a far who samurai and or artistic and menacing pieces of metal. Until today, young man has not studied engineering. “I’ve away everything from ors to my far, for example. Experience is best teacher. ” After all, Kurata now has a lot of experience. In year 2012 fulfilled a dream, when his combat robot prototype KR01 stand alone, could lift his arms and slam. Although superhuman size vonKR01 was impressive. “But next ride would be to be able to get into that thing.” To control a cockpit, this became a great project of Kogoro Kurata.
