Gundam Master/Slave Control Suit to pilot Fighting Robots !!
Via Gizmodo
Naoki Maru of Kyoto, Japan may have built one of the more impressive control devices for a robot. Using what he calls a “master-slave” technology built onto a harness, the mechanism captures the movement of the pilot and transmits it to the robot via bluetooth and replicates the movement. It is currently limited to the upper torso for now and movement for the lower half is controlled via a control pad with its balancing compensated by rapid servomotors and sensors. Hit the link to view more pictures and butt-kicking videos of the control suit in action. It won’t be long when rulership of our planet and other space colonies will be determined by battles fought in arenas with huge giant robots (G Gundam anyone ?).
