About NKK 4m Robot Project 

This 4-meter robot project began in 2010 with an aim to build a mega humanoid robot (as seen in Mobile Suit Gundam, a Japanese anime). It is an unprecedented and challenging task to develop such a gigantic bipedal robot with an embedded cockpit.

We are looking for sponsors and supporters of our project. Please check our facebook for the latest status of the development.

 

Development of Mega Humanoid Robot (Mobile Suits) 

We started to develop our first small bipedal robot in 2002 and completed our 25th humanoid robot with a height of 1 m in 2007. Furthermore, our 33rd humanoid robot with a height of 2.1 m, one of the largest in the world, was developed in 2009. Our current goal is to develop the 43rd robot, a 4-meter bipedal robot with an embedded cockpit (similar to Jr. Mobile Suit in Mobile Suit Gundam), and after that, we are planning to build an 8-meter robot. Our final goal is to build an 18-meter Gundam-sized robot (Mobile Suit) and walk on Midosuji, one of the main streets in downtown Osaka.
