Tokyo Startup Unveils $3 Million Giant Robot Resembling Gundam

Tokyo-based startup Tsubame Industries has developed a 4.5-metre-tall, $3 million robot called ARCHAX that resembles a Gundam robot.
ARCHAX has a cockpit with monitors so the pilot can control the robot's arms and hands using joysticks.
The 3.5-ton robot has two modes - an upright 'robot mode' and a 'vehicle mode' to travel up to 10 km/hr.
CEO Ryo Yoshida, 25, wants to build and sell 5 robots initially but hopes ARCHAX could be used for disaster relief or space.
Yoshida aims to carry on Japan's manufacturing traditions and competitive edge with innovative robots.
