Watch it trudge like none have ever trudged before, probably

We've seen lots of robots, or things that are supposed to be robots but really aren't, and Hajime Research has just released a video of something that qualifies as the former (mostly).

This time around, though, we aren't looking at a robotic roach, but at something more humanoid.

Only humanoid, though, not human-like. Not at all.

After all, not only does it move in a very interesting fashion, that we, of bone and flesh would be hard-pressed to imitate (especially the head movements, I mean look at those intense motions), but it is a bit too tall for the human-like attribute.

In all seriousness, though, this is just the skeleton for a Gundam suit that should even have a cockpit when finished.

The creature is roughly 13-feet tall, which is the same as 3.96 meters.

Hajime Sakamoto, the president of Hajime Research, wants to build some smaller ones as well, but the ultimate project is a 59-foot bot (17.98 meters), full-size Gundam suit, assuming he gets the funding.
