【Operation Test】cockpited robot Archax Transform&Driving test｜TSUBAME INDUSTRIES Co., Ltd.

TSUBAME INDUSTRIES Co., Ltd.
Unit 01 Prototype Archax
I boarded the Archax, operated from the cockpit, and filmed a test run at a maximum speed of 10km/h.
10km/h in vehicle mode with arms folded and front legs extended forward,
We are proceeding with the design assuming movement at 2 km / h in robot mode that can operate all joints,
This time, we are testing whether we can actually achieve that speed.
We are a company developing #Archax, 4.5m 3.5t piloted robot. The prototype is scheduled to be completed in spring of 2023. Check #Archax for our record!
Aiming for mass production
Scheduled to open to the public in October 2023
■Archax Outline
・Name: Archax
・Pilot operated robot
・Height 4.5m，Weight 3.5t
・Transform
　　Robot mode⇔Vehicle mode
・10km/h （Vehicle Mode）
・Operable Arm, Hand, Body, Head
Total 26 DOF
・4-wheel locomotion（same as a car）

Amazing work of engineering! Though, its abit too slow to be used for urban warfare. Perhaps replacing the wheels, with Mecanum wheels so that it can move sideways and rotate the whole machine at the same time. Otherwise, good job!

[@jackmesrel4933]

It's obvious that this is just a proof of concept prototype to test the tech and see if it all works as intended. Seeing how all worked well, next model will go for faster movements and more maneuverability, as well as actually using the arms. Man, mechs are becoming real, and I love it 🥲

[@justalex4214]

You will never see mechs in any kind of warfare ever. Unlike what anime and movies show, a mech is a colossal tactical disadvantage. They're huge targets for small scale anti tank weapons...and if an rpg can penetrate a tank's armor it can also destroy a mech. On top of that all those moving parts are structural weakpoints with a massive maintenance factor. Sorry, but mechs as actual weapons will always remain fiction.

[@sokowakurusai1535]

@@justalex4214 I agree, however... to be resistant to modern-day combat, it has to exceed over the techs- especially armor and weakpoints in order to combat other "mechs"

[@jackmesrel4933]

@@BvLee This, the first of everything will always have lots of room for improvement. Hell, the first tanks were slow as hell like this mech, it was later that they were refined to be more agile and versatile. So yeah, just because a prototype costed a ton and is pretty slow doesn't mean it's a failure, it becomes one if the R&D guys can't find a way to eliminate the faults, which may take a while yes, but with enough time it will happen, at least with sizes like the one in the vid. The building sized ones tho, yeah, not gonna happen unless a new alloy capable of supporting such behemoths is made or some kind of tech makes it doable, cus yeah, too much mass for a humanoid form to support

And personally, while it is less practical, I do believe a quadruped mech is more interesting than your average boring tank. Also your average boring tank and excavators get beaten by bombers or ICBMs. Checkmate.
