A Gundam robot that fixes railway tracks was also built in Japan

Japanese railway company West Japan Rail Company He had two concerns in repairing the tracks: reduce work accidents, mainly due to falls and electrocutions; and the difficulty in finding qualified workers.

His solution has been to build a railway robot. But this is Japan, so what he has made is a spectacular 15-meter humanoid robot that is also reminiscent of the classic Gundam anime robots.

This unnamed robot is mounted on a vehicle that moves on the train tracks. His legs are an extensible arm that can reach a height greater than the 15 meters. From the waist up he is a humanoid robot who uses an eye-mounted camera that transmits to the lenses, where he sees everything on a giant screen.

Japan creates a Gundam robot to fix cables and railway tracks.

The operator controls the arms of the robot remotely, and sees through its eyes. With this system it is as if he were inside the robot several meters above the ground, but in reality he is sitting comfortably and safely in the cabin of the vehicle.

The robot can pick up objects of all kinds with its robotic grippers to place them on the electrical columns of the tracks. Different tools can also be attached to repair electrical cables, replace them, and other tasks.

According to the railway company, this robot saves 30% in jobs, and accidents are reduced to zero.
