More breakout videos from this creator.
There's a YouTuber in China building a £66,000 humanoid robot that copies his movements in real time. His name is Fan Shisan, a creator with a chemistry who's spent years building things straight out of anime: a flying sword, swarms made of a hoverboard, and a few months ago, a robot arm heavier than a truck that crushed a car on camera. But his new project is completely different. He named the Mech Jaeger after the giant robots in Pacific Rim. It doesn't think for itself. Fan wears a motion capture suit and the mirrors him in real time, scaling every small human movement into massive mechanical force. He moves his arm, sixty-six thousand pounds moves with him. Now, actually here, like this, a defense government. Fan is funding it with a channel in audience and unitary started a rideable mech for six hundred fifty thousand dollars. Giant robots are quietly a consumer category. One of the most interesting engineering lab in the world right now is a YouTube channel in Chungdu.
