Chinese companies are speeding ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to robotics, recently displaying some quite frankly terrifying bipedal sword-wielding mechanical monstrosities. I think I speak for all of us when I say I’m looking forward to them relentlessly pursuing me through a bombed-out cityscape in the near future.
But, if the future really is going to be a nightmarish dystopia, it probably also should have mech suits. And now, in a development that’d make Hal Emmerich blush, Chinese robotics company Unitree (the same people who taught robots the blade) has unveiled the world’s first real mech suit, which will be on sale for approximately $650k very soon.
