Land Walker
The Land Walker is the first Script error: No such module "convert". bipedal robot. Despite its name, it does not actually walk—instead shuffling on wheels hidden under its "feet" at approximately Template:Cvt. It was invented by Masaaki Nagumo and created by researchers who hope to someday create similar robots to be used in the military and law enforcement.[1]
Design
The Land Walker stands at about Script error: No such module "convert". tall, weighing about Template:Cvt. It "walks", or shuffles, at a speed of around Template:Cvt. It has a cockpit, similar to a small airplane, big enough to seat one human. Two cannons are mounted on the arms of the robot, which fire rubber or plastic balls.[2]
Enryu
The Land Walker is very similar to the biped robot Enryu, which was also created by the Sakakibara Kikai Co. in Tmsuk, Japan. The Enryu stands at a height of Template:Cvt. It shuffles faster than the Land Walker because it uses caterpillar-like tracks instead of legs. It was built to help in emergency situations, like rushing into a burning building, lifting heavy objects, and rescuing people. Its arms act like human arms, which is different from the Land Walker's arms.[1]
