Earlier this year, a life-sized Gundam robot became a reality in the city of Yokohama, Japan. The humanoid is now able to break into different movements similar to the character in the 1979 titular series.
A new glimpse at the giant Gundam captures it showing off dramatic gestures like taking steps and lifting its hands up to the skies. The machine was already able to kneel, move its fingers, and stare at humans on the ground in the initial look of the statue.
The humanoid, standing at 18 meters (59 feet), was built to be the central attraction of the Gundam Factory Yokohama complex, which is set to open later this month on 19 December 2020.
The theme park will also offer insights into how the cyborg was constructed in its exhibitions. There will also be a virtual look of the robot’s cockpit, so visitors can experience its point of view from high above.
