$\"NewsHub\"$ A Korean company recently debuted their work-in-progress full-sized walking mech. If anything, it resembles something from a Hollywood science fiction movie.
The company behind this project is called Hankook Mirae and is based in Korea. The mech design on the other hand comes from Hollywood SFX man Vitaly Bulgarov, reports The Next Web.
This 13-foot tall piece of machinery bears a close resemblance to the mechs used in the 3D sci-fi movie \u2018Avatar.\u2019 It also appears to have similar control mechanisms for the arms.
Bulgarov envisions this mech to provide heavy-lifting support for rescue missions in extreme conditions. He also sees industrial applications that include a tethered platform. A video below shows the capabilities of the life-sized walking mech.
While there is still a lot of work to be done on the Hankook Mirae mech, one can\u2019t deny that it brings to life just about every boyhood dream of riding giant robots. Alfred Bayle<\/p>\n
