TOKYO (AFP) - A Japanese company unveiled a 3.5-metre (11.55-foot) tall robot that can forage its way through a heap of debris as a trailblazer for rescue workers following a disaster such as an earthquake.

The five-tonne T-52 Enryu (literally "rescue dragon") is hydraulically operated and equipped with two arms ending in pincer "hands" that can grasp and remove obstacles to help rescuers reach people trapped under rubble.

Each arm is capable of lifting 500 kilogrammes (1,100 pounds) and when they are fully extended the two pincers are 10 metres (33 feet) apart.

No shit.. I wonder if the technology is as good as the child-killing doors of Roppongi?

Does a human get inside and control it or is it RC?

It looks like the robotic devices shown in Matrix Revolutions:



I wouldn't mind having one.. Got the schematics for the DIYer?

They cut the clip short. Where's the part where it tears a car in half? Or transforms into a jet and flies away, reducing the reporters to ash with its firey exhaust?

That's certainly not my Robot Overlord.
