In the heart of Tokyo, Japan, a forward-thinking startup by the name of Tsubame Industries is crafting a robot set to capture the imagination of the masses. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Japanese anime series, Mobile Suit Gundam, the company proudly introduces ARCHAX, christened after the Archaeopteryx, a prehistoric flying dinosaur.
This awe-inspiring creation boasts a cockpit nestled within its chest, complete with the essentials for human control—a joystick and pedals. In addition to this, a monitor inside the cockpit provides a real-time view through external cameras. But ARCHAX is not limited to cockpit operation alone; it can also be seamlessly controlled remotely. Complementing its mobility, the robot stands on four sturdy wheels.
Impressively towering at a height of 4.5 meters and weighing in at a substantial 3.5 tons, ARCHAX offers versatility through its dual modes—a robot mode and a vehicle mode. In its vehicle mode, it can reach speeds of up to 10 kilometers per hour, showcasing its adaptability for various applications.
Tsubame Industries, the visionary minds behind ARCHAX, envision its potential in both space exploration endeavors and disaster relief efforts on Japanese soil.
As anticipation for this remarkable creation builds, Tsubame Industries plans to unveil ARCHAX to the public at the Japan Mobility Show 2023, scheduled for October 26, 2023, in the bustling city of Tokyo.
However, exclusivity will be a hallmark of ARCHAX’s initial release, with only five units available for purchase. The estimated price for each unit is expected to soar to an impressive $3 million, making it a coveted piece of technological marvel for those with a passion for cutting-edge innovation.
