Tsubame Industries, a Tokyo-based startup, just unveiled its massive human-piloted robot. The four-wheeled robot named ARCHAX, which bears some resemblance to "Mobile Suit Gundam" from the popular Japanese animation series, is about 15-feet tall and weighs 3.5 tons. Tsubame CEO Ryo Yoshida plans to sell five units of the robot for nearly $3 million each. For access to live and exclusive video from CNBC subscribe to CNBC PRO: cnb.cx/2NGeIvi

Mechs starting as pure utilitarian robots in a world similar to ours (before eventually being used for crimes, spawning weaponised robot-units for police and the military as response), is exactly the plot of Patlabor.

@@romanshchedrin8851 At least it serves as a step towards robotic advancement. Eventually, these ideas and projects that are ridiculed by some will turn into something great that the future generation will take for granted. Even planes were first mocked when they were in their early stages and we all know how it is nowadays. There are definitely other areas that could be cut down in order to invest more on solving medicinal aids and world hunger.
