The first manned bipedal robot is now a reality
If anyone still thought that the technologies that appear in many futuristic films cannot be translated and replicated in real life, they were wrong. This time we have to go to South Korea in front of a few engineers to observe the first giant "human" robot. A fantasy come true with a huge mechanized Avatar!
How could it be otherwise, the mega robot is designed by a veteran engineer who has worked on many science fiction films such as Transformers, RoboCop or Terminator among other projects. We are talking about Vitaly Bulgarov, who together with the South Korean company Hankook Mirae Technology specialized in robotics have just made the dream of many technology experts come true.
Advances in technology are increasingly surprising and in reality surely more than one user is thinking that it would be of great help in the works such as in the project of the article architecture with robots and algorithms where practically, they do everything.
The Method-2 robot, which has impressive measurements; Approximately 4 meters high and 1.5 tons in weight, they make up a steel structure that supports the passenger compartment for a "driver" who can move the mechanism at will.
The pilot sitting inside the robot's torso produces movements attending to the extremities that are imitated by the Method-2 with metal arms and feet, which according to the journalists who were reporting on the event, when walking, the ground moved.
According to engineer Vitaly Bulgarov … «It is the first manned bipedal robot in the world and it is built with the purpose of working in extremely dangerous areas where humans could not achieve it due to the need for special protections, without wasting that obviously they can move objects of great size and weight, taking care of the robust hydraulic arms presented by the robot »
The project was started in 2014 with an investment of 200 million dollars and aims to be put on sale at the end of 2022 at a price for bulky pockets of a little more than 8 million dollars.
In reality, the company affirms that it is a really young project and that it has just taken its first steps taking into account that it is a very ambitious technical development in which it has not only been investigated in relation to the technical aspects of the robot but also from a point of view of mechanical engineering, software, hardware and different electrical mechanisms, opening different ways that can be applied to the real world, so this is only the prelude to different projects, much larger and more ambitious that will provide a multitude of applications. new. We remember the article on how to build a bridge with robots where the human hand has been relegated to working in front of a computer instead of physical efforts.
