Japanese Engineer Builds 15-Ton Beetle Robot

Called the Kabutom MX-03, this giant beetle robot weighs a massive 15-tons and "can be remote controlled or piloted from the cockpit (visible on the left side)." Video after the break.

Alas it more "shuffles" than walks — the legs pull it along the ground, while the weight is supported by wheels.
