Real Life Japanese Mech Robot Fires BBs With A Smile
The Kuratas Mecha robot is an art/aspirational nerd project by Suidobashi Heavy Industry. This full-sized Mech robot features a ride-in cockpit, "rocket" launchers, and a "smile controlled" BB Gatling gun. That's right: when you smile, this thing unleashes thousands of tiny plastic BBs.Unveiled at Wonder Fest 2012 in Tokyo, you can control the robot with either a set of master-slave joysticks or using a more fluid Kinect interface. It runs something called the V-SIDO (Bushido) OS and includes touchscreen support inside the cockpit as well as 3G wireless connectivity so you can control it via phone.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/RbvcD4tcrVk/
