METHOD-1: 4m Tall Manned Robot

We have covered plenty of tiny but cool robots here in the past. METHOD-1 happens to be a 4-meter tall manned robot designed for industrial purposes. The robot simply repeats the moves of its operator. The Seoul-based Korea Future Technology company recently completed a test of this 1.5 ton robot.

Human-machine interface and arm motion test! “METHOD-1” large manned robot project for which I had a pleasure to make the design. Very fortunate to be part of the incredible “Korea Future Technology” team. #koreafuturetechnology #industrialdesign #robot #mech

Those of you who have seen the Avatar movie probably find the structure familiar. Vitaly Bulgarov has shared a bit of more information about this robot on Facebook. Pretty cool, don’t you think?
