"A Japanese company by the unfortunate name of tmsuk has just
announced the world's largest robot capable of carrying a person - the
3.5m tall, 5 ton T52 Enryu HyperRescueRobot. Their product site is in
Japanese, but here's a few fun facts: it's 10m wide with its arms
fully outstretched, is powered by an onboard water-cooled three
cylinder direct injection diesel engine, has a maximum speed of 3Km/h,
and carries seven 680,000-pixel CCD cameras with a separate monitor
for each camera. If no whiny 14-year-olds are available to pilot it,
it can be remotely controlled (with a dummy plug in the cockpit,
presumably)."

More like Appleseed to be honest, but still very VERY cool!

As commented on Slashdot... one wonders how this could be a rescue robot
without crushing the people in need of saving!
Still, very cool. I wonder how fast those arms can move, though, and how
long before Asimo or one of the other humanoids gets scaled up to
something this size.

Just a remark: to be exact, the EVAs are _not_ robots, they are
*cyborgs* ---
which is quite different, I think.
