Japan Built 60-Foot-Tall, The World Largest Walking Gundam

Yokohama’s port is the place where the giant moving or walking robot will be placed and displayed for a year starting this October. It will be the most advanced full-sized Gundam ever built with the 24 degrees motion.

Created in 1979, Gundam has been such an icon series that changed Japan’s culture and the rest of the world. Gundam has inspired other animation such as Pacific Rim, Transformer, Real Steel, and anything with a huge robot in it.

Gundam Factory Yokohama aims to bring the robot to life in public by the port of Yokohama. The robot will weigh around 25 tons which makes it the biggest compared to the average industrial robot. The team is trying to do what they aimed for, making it walk. A walking real-sized Gundam will be challenging for the team to make it work.

The hand itself already weighs for 200kg and cannot be more than that or the weigh can ruin the motors inside. This means that the engineers need to be more careful when designing the robot cause it is a huge chunk of metal shifts its weights onto one leg to make a step.

Inside the building at the port, will have the hands-on robotic labs, viewing area, cafe, shops, and educational facilities.
