After three month of testing, now the robot is able to move with impressive smooth movements :
A small note : It still require the base support to sustain its weight, we are not sure if it will be ever be used completely without the “balance” structure.
Building the “Hipe”
A limited-edition launching program that gives participants a special sneak peek at the facilities before opening. In addition to entering the venue early and enjoying the mood, participants can go up to the special observatory deck .
Other activities includes Gundam-LAB, ROS-Enabled Simulator, Cafeteria and Academy.
Internal Structure
