As an anime fan, I had to write about this one. Even though I don't really watch anime about robots, I still thought this was cool.
This CNN article showed a test of this 60 foot tall robot in Japan. It's based on a robot an anime called Mobile Suit Gundam. The original series started in 1979 in Japan. There is still a Gundam series in Japan today. In the anime, humans pilot these giant robots called Gundam.
The CNN article says it's part of an attraction at the Gundam Factory Yokohama and has been in the works since 2014. Anime fans were supposed to be able to get a close up view of the robot in October 2020 but because of the coronavirus they are pushing that date back.
In the video, you can see the giant robot kneel down and move it's arms.
Found a video that was better than the one in the CNN article. This one shows it moving its fingers and its head moving.
