VICE founder Suroosh Alvi recently traveled to Gunpo, South Korea, to try out the Method 2 prototype, a hulking manned robot made by Hankook Mirae Technology. Weighing in at over one and a half tons, and standing 13 feet tall, the Method 2 looks like something out of science fiction.
Specifically, this exoskeleton robot looks like something you’ve seen in a movie, and that’s by design: Hankook Mirae Chairman Yang Jin-Ho and his team collaborated with a Hollywood designer to make the Method-2.
Jin-Ho spent $200 million of his own money on the project, and claims his creation is the world’s first manned bipedal robot.
The robot is designed to mimic hand and arm movements, and is suspended by two metal cabals in the ceiling to keep it balanced.
So far the Method-2 is only used for fun, but its creator envisions it will play a critical role in future crises.
“It’s more likely it’ll be used in fires and disaster relief situations,” Jin-Ho said. “But also find application in military operations.”

Laser core ready, Pilot.
So many stupid people, and they believed this BS XDDD
they should make a figur .
He said only armed forces and movie companies were interested.. I would love to see this used as some sort of transportation system for traversing Mars. It would protect the astronaut from Mars’s atmosphere and be convenient for day to day operations. Especially if you got the movements down so precise to where you could use this for maintenance purposes as well. I hope NASA or some other space agency someday finds interest in these Mechs.
2024.. no súpe mas nada de este proyecto hoy dia.. en que quedó?? 🤔🤔
With all of the modern robot technology, I can't believe that a military hasn't included it in their military arsenal. Dana White, it's time to introduce Battle Bots to your customers!!! 😜😳
Robot. Method. 2. Transformes. Into. A. Van
Что стало с проектом? Что стало с этим роботом? Где новые видео о нём?
Guys I'm pretty sure that this company has been shut down due to the CEO of the company breaking laws.
NOW WE GOT AI
Without dreamers this giant robot would of never made it to production. In the end there may not even be a need for giant robots.
Probably best to first use in rescue situations.
The only use these things might have is to suppress a civilian population armed with light weapons. Any real war would see them get shredded by heavy weaponry quickly.
Logistics and crisis response could be a good use for these, not very pratical militarily speaking
Time to rewatch Patlabor.
I absolutely LOVE this robot and I really hope someday I can build these kinds of robot's.
Now they just need to build it so it doesn’t need cables to stay balanced…
I doubt something this big will be used in the military. It's simply too slow. I'd be more interested in something like C6 from call of duty
the fact that this only cost them 200 million is dope, in other countries they wouldve upcharged investors by like 1000%
Am i the only one who wants to pick something from a tall tree
Katrina Steiner sends her regards
Can we please get a VICE reporter that doesn't show up to the interviews high as a kite?
Pacific Rim?
Mechwarrior 😎
From the Avatar?
We need something that can run.
A 9 feet tall version that has more smoother and faster movement
This thing could then easily be weaponized as a sqaud support
Bay 12 please
When alien invade us this gonna be our main weapon
If u watch Taxi Driver, u know it
this was 3 years ago
Almost like AMP suits from Avatar ! Amazing !
