Have YOU seen this robot?

I saw this robot in the past year or two (I think) in a robot compilation video; it's really cool and one of the most elegant designs I've ever seen.

Imagine:

  • from 2 matching clocks, take the hour+minute hands, still joined
  • align the 2 sets to be stackable (but don't stack them)
  • add an axle connecting them
  • add a wheel to each minute hand
  • add gripping pads on the inside of each hour hand

This way, the shorter arms (hour hands) can rotate around and around relative to the longer legs (minute hands) without disrupting the legs' wheels rolling on the floor. This is useful for moving the center of gravity as the robot accelerates back and forth in a warehouse, and also allows for the robot to reach boxes at various heights using the same mechanism.

It was sort of a demo video from the company that makes them, and this thing was speeding around the warehouse, grabbing boxes, self-balancing like a segway, and had this super simple design.

After Colony and Anno Domini Gundam Mobile Weapon Categorisation in Accordance with Contemporary Military Classification

Hello robot enthusiasts, I am known as Freighttrain and I have made two blog posts on the Gundam wiki where I have categorised most of the mobile suits and armours from the After Colony and Anno Domini timelines in accordance with contemporary military classification using adjusted and/or improvised terminology, as no nation or other military force has such vehicles in their arsenal... yet.

A primary focal point of this classification system is on how contemporary militaries would classify a vehicle such as a mobile suit, I propose the term SHMV (Super-heavy Humanoid Military Vehicle) or 'shumvee' as when using a size/chassis/battlespace format, that is the most succinct, comprehensive and appropriately ambiguous designation that I have been able to derive from contemporary military classification thus far and I am particularly interested in comments regarding that.

I have listed all of the mobile/suits armours from Anno Domini and most of those featured in media from After Colony with the exception of some obscurities that either lack sufficient information and/or have designs or capabilities that are exotic beyond what I would call hard science fiction. Though it is possible I may add such examples later.

I am particularly interested in comments regarding the comprehensiveness, accuracy or terminology of my classification system as well as the battlespace viability and distinctive equipment of any vehicles and please also feel free to also leave a comment on the actual blog post page if you have a profile on the Gundam wiki.

​

And anyone reading this who are also fans of the Zoids and Alien franchises might be interested in my posts regarding topics from those.
