World’s Largest Exoskeleton Racing Mech
116,234
Published 2020-10-06
It even has a Guinness World Record certification as the world’s largest four-legged exoskeleton.
Now to be clear this is not a robot, it’s not controlled by a computer or some kind of remote control or joystick system, it is completely controlled by a single person sitting inside the cockpit, controlling it with his own arms and legs.
When the pilot moves his arms and his legs, each of his movements will be transmitted then amplified by the four giant legs, so good physical health and stamina, will be absolutely essential to control the robot.
Thanks for watching.

★★★ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VIDEO / FACT UPDATES ★★★ NOTE: some of these answers are from Johnathon at Furrion Exo-Bionics himself, from his comments below. 1) at 4 Tonnes it weighs to much for a Racing Team, drop 2 tonnes to be viable - "We are already working on Mech 2.0. Two thirds the size, half the weight, twice the power...stay tuned!" 2) Can the Pilot get hurt if one of the legs gets yanked or pulled hard, will it hurt the pilots arm or leg? - "If by hit you mean by some sort of ordinance, or strike from another mech, that is not a scenario we're after. We are not building these to fight. If by "hit" you mean by an obstacle, or falling tree, then yes, the pilot would feel it - if it was a big enough impact to affect the 400kg leg significantly. With 200hp at your finger tips (or toes) and enough force to lift a car, it would have to be a substantial before it would become a nuisance. The heart of this mech is a patent pending exo-skeletal control system that locks the pilots limbs to those of the mech with full force and positional feedback in 100% realtime. If the mech can't move, the pilot can't move." 3) What is the Power Source and Range of the Mech? - it uses twin AC motors at about 75kW each, creating 200 hp, with a lithium ion battery running it , it can run at up to 30 kph and can run for 1 hour, so 30 klms is it's range, but they have only walked at about 6 kph so far.

Someone finally did it! I've always known the first fully functioning mecha would have 4 legs, not 2. You gotta crawl before you can walk. But still amazing!

Imagine everybody else having a car and your just pulling up to a party in a mech
-
Imagine them working with Boston Dynamics

2:54 That is straight out of Pacific Rim. We're gonna be exploring Mars with these bad boys someday.

Dont act like i didn’t see that butterfly thing on the left at 0:43

This gives me hope. He needs to team up with the people who built the semi-movable Gundam in Japan and make that move for real. Mechs/Mecha rule.

As an anime Mecha fan this is super exciting! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
-
Very cool!
-
Next: insert Kaiju
-
This design, to me, resemble a lot strandbeests, maybe it was an inspiration?
-
Movies: Giant awesome epic humanoid MECHA Real Life: Weird four legged Boar robot with tusks to lift objects, but oddly efficient...

Heat of the desert Dust settles on my face Without a compass The soldier knows no disgrace Out of the ashes The eagle rises still Freedom is calling To all men who bend their will
-
Theyll be made in full carbon fiber if racing gets big. cant wait to see what happens.
-
This is a Metal Gear REX?!
-
A highly mobile tow truck!
-
A much better and more informative overview than Furrion's over-hyped trailer.
-
Fantastic video and really great footage. Thanks!
-
Look at DARPA's programs. All they would have to do is upscale their bots and boom mech warrior's. Shit I wouldn't doubt it if they already haven't been made.

Just think about the Wright brothers and their invention of the first functional airplane. Everybody laughed at them. And now look to the skies... It's miraculously amazing.
