The Landwalker, developed by Masaki Nagumo, is a 1000 kg robot that appears to walk but actually glides on wheels. It can launch foam balls up to 30 meters and is controlled by foot pedals and levers. Inspired by science fiction, Nagumo built it himself after growing tired of waiting for such a machine. Currently an engineer, he may sell Landwalkers if there's enough demand at $3000 each. Despite its appearance, it's a vehicle and not allowed on public roads. The Landwalker is a unique blend of engineering and childhood dreams.
