“Amazon’s CEO Just Demoed the World’s
First Manned Bipedal Robot”
Recently at the MARS conference,
Amazon’s CEO Jeff Bezos tested out a robot that comes straight out of a comic
book. The robot named ‘Method 2’ clocking in at a weight of 1.5 tons and 4
meters tall, its primary directive is to be applied to situations that could be
potentially too hazardous to human beings to go in unprotected. The robot was
built by a South Korean tech firm named Hankook Mirae Technology. The chairman
of the company, Yang Jin-Ho has a few more hoops to jump though before he can
get the robot fully complete. There are currently rumors circling that it will
be being used to aid cleanup in the Fukushima reactor meltdown. This new robot
is clearly a massive advancement in current robot tech and even serves the
purpose of helping humanity; it could be possible that this robot can work
along smaller robots that search for bodies under rubble. This advancement will
greatly help the field of robotics.
