Land Walker Transformer in Japan


Land Walker
Ok, I'm just getting too much of transformer animation's series . Actually, this transformer "robot" is the World̢۪s first bi-pedal exoskeleton (Codename: Land Walker) developed by Sakakibara-Kikai.


    Japanese robotics and machineries manufacturer Sakakibara-Kikai has developed the world̢۪s first bi-pedal exoskeleton, bringing the battlemechs and cyborg technology found in sci-fi movies and novels into reality. This mechanatron is similar to those found in movies such as the Imperial Scout Walker (AT-ST) found in Star Wars. Previously, there was a similar mechanatron also created in Japan by Tmsuk called Enryu. Although Enryu is much faster than Land Walker, it uses caterpillar-like tracks rather than legs to move.
