Your favourite animation is about to become reality...at least for Gundam. A Japanese research firm is currently developing a 13-foot working, wearable Gundam tribute robot. Hajime Sakamoto, president, Hajime Research Institute is working to make a dream Gundam robot dedicated to the anime fans.
Development on the 13-foot mobile robot suit began in 2010, though the company has been manufacturing humanoid robots since 2002. As far as the size goes, the robots are getting larger. In 2007, Hajime Robot 25 was three feet tall, in 2009 robot 33 was seven feet tall and so on. The giant humanoid robot from the firm is the largest in the world and will be able to do bipedal walking.
The company is currently looking for sponsors who can provide an assisting hand in the project. The 13-foot Gundam tribute may seem amazing enough, but Hajime Sakamoto has bigger plans for the future. Hajime, being a devout fan of Gundam, aims to make a working version of the now-disassembled, 59-foot giant mecha in Shizuoka, which was created as part of the anime series’ 30th anniversary. He plans on creating a 26-foot robot to lead up to the final giant Gundam suit, which the company president hopes to complete in eight years, just in time for the Gundam series’ 40th anniversary.
