Title: Humanoid Robot HRP-2 "Promet"
Post by: skidzilla on June 23, 2007, 07:10:24 AM
QuoteThe external appearance of HRP-2 was designed by Mr. Yutaka Izubuchi, a mechanical animation designer famous for his robots that appear in Japanese anime, including the well-known "PATLABOR." Mr. Izubuchi also named HRP-2 "Promet."
