Last month we featured Suidobashi Heavy Industries’ funky “KURATAS” robot (3Yen / 2012-07-31) including a video of their prototype in action on the streets of Tokyo.
Now, today’s Japan Times has released a lengthy story and a new video. ↓

Previous 3Yen reports of Japanese robo-wankers include:
• Japanese robot ‘misuse’ (3Yen / 2012-02-19)
• Japanese Fembot Bar (3Yen / 2012-07-28)
• Japan’s govn’t to build fun Gundams! (3Yen / 2012-06-27)
My brother suggested I may like this website because he always calls me a “wanker.” For once he was entirely right. Thanks!
what can possibly be the use of the behemoth robots in real life? They can’t walk among us because we’d be squashed to a pulp, right? What ever happened to Japan’s interesting robotic developments, especially in the humanoid department?
I read your report, and I think, this idea could be very useful at my workplace.
WOT!? Are you “robot wanking” at work?
