Method-2 Robot
Hancook Mirai’s Method-2 was officially unveiled this past December, and is currently the world’s first manned, bipedal robot. Standing 13-feet tall and weighing in at 1.6-tons, this $200-million piece of machinery is controlled from a glass pod in its torso by a human operator. One thing you may not already know is that each of its arms weighs 286-pounds.



Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos recently tested the robot at the MARS (Machine Learning Automation, Robotics and Space Exploration) conference, where digital and technological intelligence was showcased. Let’s just say that he could probably afford to buy several of these manned robots, if not the entire company should he want to develop it further.
