Imagine your kids getting ahold of one of these for Halloween. Created by the Sakakibara-kikai corp of Japan. This is a new smaller "kid friendly" version of the full-size landwalker robot the company developed . Pretty cool stuff from a company that usually produces feed sweepers. Check out the video below, you'll also get a peek at the larger version in the background.
A child can climb into the pilot seat and operate the machine by themselves The robot includes some fail safe functionallity to limit the the walking motion to restrict it a shuffling motion rather then taking large steps. The Kid's gas powered Walker is 5 1/4 feet tall and weighs around 400 lbs which is around half the size of the full size Land Walker. The controls are operated right from the seat. You can actually rent this thing apparently. They are not selling them as of yet, but the company estimates that the unit woud cost around $21,000 U.S to produce.
