JAKARTA - Tsubame Industries, a startup company that focuses on technology, created a robot called ARCHAX. This robot was built with a height of 4.5 meters.

The robot, which is priced at 3 million US dollars (Rp46 billion), weighs 3.5 tons. This robot can be driven at speeds of 10 kilometers per hour and powered by a 300V battery.

In addition to being able to be controlled in driving mode, ARCHAX can switch to standing mode. This robot has many cameras on its body, including on its head. However, the large camera on its head doesn't work like a camera.

The total operating camera owned by ARCHAX is 26. All of these cameras can be seen through the monitor in the cockpit. Interestingly, people driving ARCHAX can control their arms and hands with a enjoystick and touch screen in their bodies.

In addition to being able to be driven from within, ARCHAX can also be controlled remotely. This robot made by Tsubame can also carry various objects with all five fingers, but the weight is limited to 15 kilograms to maintain security.

ARCHAX will premiere at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show later this month. Although it will soon be introduced, ARCHAX cannot enter the market directly. It took a year for this robot to be purchased freely.

Quoting from Thestar, Tsubame Industries Chief Executive Ryo Yoshida said that Japan has expertise in animation, games, robots and cars. With this capability, Tsubame is motivated to combine all elements into one.

I want to create something that says, This is Japan, added Yoshida. He plans to make five ARCHAXs so far and target billionaires to buy them.

In the future, Yoshida hopes that this robot can help the community when there is a disaster or for space purposes.
