Japanese robotics startup launches a $3 million anime-style giant robot that is 4.5 meters tall, weighs 3.5 tons, and has two modes.

Mobile Suit Gundam in Japanese animation comes into reality. Japanese robotics start-up Tsubame Industries has launched a $3 million anime-style giant robot that is marketed to high-end customers in China and the Middle East and will be unveiled to the public this month.

This pilotable giant robot Archax incorporates various robot elements that appear in Japanese "mecha" (mechanical power armor) animations, featuring humanoid robots. The Archax robot is 4.5 meters tall and weighs 3.5 tons. Its upper body is humanoid and its lower body is equipped with 4 wheels and can travel around. The robot has an upright "robot mode" and a "vehicle mode" with a speed of 10 kilometers per hour.

However, the speed of 10 kilometers per hour is slightly slower than that of ordinary bicycles. According to China's "Electric Bicycle Safety Technical Specifications", the maximum design speed of electric bicycles is 25 kilometers/hour. Tsubame Industries' marketing strategy will emphasize the robot's uniqueness rather than its practicality, and the Archax robot cannot be driven on public roads

The robot is controlled by a windowless cockpit with two joysticks, two pedals and a touch screen. Four monitors show the external view captured by nine cameras. The Archax robot will be unveiled to the public this month at the Japan Mobile Show.

The company’s CEO plans to build and sell five robots to deep-pocketed robotics fans, hoping the robots will one day be used in disaster relief or the aerospace industry.

"Japan is very good at animation, games, robots and cars, so I thought it would be great if I could create a product that condensed all of these elements together." Tsubame Industries said 25-year-old CEO Ryo Yoshida. According to Reuters, he plans to build and sell five of these robots to deep-pocketed robot fans, hoping the robots will one day be used in disaster relief or the aerospace industry.

According to a report by Nikkei Asia on October 8, Tsubame Industries plans to produce next-generation entertainment robots in 2025 and a space prototype in 2028

The company currently plans to apply Archax robots to the entertainment field and intends to cooperate with gaming and display-related companies. According to Nikkei Asia, the company is specifically focusing on team-based shooters that can combine multiple Archax units and augmented reality technology. "Our goal is to create a high-end toy," said Akinori Ishii, director of Tsubame Industries. In addition, Tsubame Industries is also considering signing a licensing agreement to convert Archax's intellectual property into business, including selling related merchandise and small plastic models. , and the production of anime based on the robot. Growing the Archax brand in this way could help boost sales of full-size robots
