You can always trust the Japanese to make sword-wielding robots, eh? ;)


Cool concept. Doesn't seem to be good for much but practicing your strikes (and would be damn expensive to use for that), but you gotta admit it's a cool way to train. :cool:

I want to see a video of it with a real sword set loose in a shopping complex.

By the look of the video it's not advanced enough for massive carnage.

Nah, seems as though it's pretty much capable of going through the basic strikes, and probably at least some of the kata. Doesn't seem advanced enough to do much on its own.

It looked like that was a Korean-built robot.

Yup, it's Korean.

The video shows the robot doing kata (4th), and then some kirikaeshi (your bread and butter warm up exercise). Just for the kirikaeshi, that thing would be awesome (if it could keep up with full speed)
