My childhood dream is almost a reality, a real life Transformer.


Designed by Kenji Ishida and JS Robotics, the bot houses 22 servos to perform the transformation. In robot form it is based on the widely copied bipedal humanoid platform. You can see these humanoid bots in a lot of competitions in Japan. There is no information on the bot at JS Robotics

 

This bot is the latest in a series by Kenji  Ishida, version 8 to be exact. See version 7 below.

  • I missed the transformer generation in my youth, but I can see how this device would bring a smile to those who grew up watching them on TV.

     

    It is also very impressive from an engineering perspective.  Kenji has worked out some solutions that could lead to some interesting devices in the future.

     

    Neat post,
