Researchers at "Korea Future Technologies" under the direction of its chief designer Vitaly Bulgarov have succeeded in building a 4 meter tall walking mech with arms that mimic the movement of the pilot's arms within.
I'll be damned. I never believed anyone could get a robot taller than a human to walk. This is very cool and all, but I doubt that it will find real world application. The stability of the walking mechanism has a long way to go before it can provide advantages over tracked vehicles, and even by that point, it will be far more expensive.
