Riot control, imagine putting a teargas canister launchers on the shoulders, a pepper ball gun on one arm and a bean bag gun on the other. Fully enclosed the cockpit in ballistic glass and give it some armor on the legs. This thing could tear through crowds.

Should be good to kick unarmed protestors. Unlike a horse, it will do that reliably every time.

Could be used as electric elephants to dispatch insufficiently loyal Republicans with American History X stomps. In Minecraft.

Honest question: Besides "Because it's cool", what does this do that Forklifts and the warehouse robots that Amazon is making can't do?

what if you just put all that stuff on a wheeled or tracked vehicle instead?
then you wouldn't be able to trip it

It go through rough terrain, and also work as an excavator, crane, while also being able to use weapons.

Chinese engineering very implessive. At least fake it enough that an American R&D company actually makes it.

That thing? Nada, except tip over when a person tries to pilot it.

The idea? Could be very useful for basically a large power tool machine with hands.

The airplane did something no human could ever do.

Your mech is literally just a worse version of a human.

It's not as intimidating as a walking mech. It's the same reason why horses are still used for riot control, it directly taps onto primal fears of humans

I want one. But not because of the mobility shit, I want a machine built as an accessory to a giant axe, who's function is moving around and swinging it. I want to be able to chop shit with an axe roughly in the class of a school bus or municipal plow truck.

I never thought to question this before but what exactly would a humanoid form bring to a construction site as far as heavy industrial usage goes?

If you need to lift things using a crane handles that instead of contriving fingers onto a giant hand and if it's too big it can go inside the structure to do things.

It really goes to show that power armor/exo-skeletons are really the way to go.
>>
>>65363799
A Single system that can do the job of several construction vehicles
>>
>>65363807
Such as? What is a mech going to do a excavator doesn't? Even the loader from Aliens works as a glorified fork lift and seeing what is usually carried by them I question how useful a humanoid shape would be outside of very specific situations like ship that isn't butt fucking huge like a carrier.
>>
>>65363816
Since It has hands, just like a person It could change roles by just grabbing a different tool, and there won't be much training either
>>
>>65363799
If they can be synchronized with external sensors, they could be laying bricks like your mum on the loo. Brick laying height's limited by a person's height, so the wall would be going up faster and with less scaffolding.

In window and door installation, we used to hit the site with the whole company, because that's how many folks it took to safely lift and place very large pieces.

Finally, exos are kinda shit in use. Even if they're fully powered (which they generally are not), you still need to adjust fit and you still have to carry them. With a larger robot, you just get in and put on the control sensors for the extremities. There's loads of lifting to do on a construction site that can't use a crane. Nobody's going to bitch about a robot doing it.
>>
>>65363799
>>65363807
mechs are fucking dumb. The idea is to put a massive multi-purpose machine on two legs, one leg while walking. This is very unstable and if I would on a work site, I would be staying very clear of it. Millions of years of evolution could only make bipedal theropod's that weighed 10 tons and could pick up about two tons (from what we know, could be more), but that creature would be very ill-suited for construction sites or warehouses. Lifts and other vehicles may as well be perfected. We have tiny forklifts that can operate and work in a warehouse perfectly. Staying stable, lifting very heavy loads, moving quickly, and using reliable energy sources.

Thinking back on Patlabor underwater construction could be good. You also run into the issue of a giant humanoid vehicle messing up the ocean floor walking about but I suppsoe if you're putting in oil rigs the environiment is the least of your concern.

Then it makes me go back to the Humble ball and just have the arms be advanced enough to have a welder be able to move it as if he were actually doing it himself.
>>
>>65363799
If its compact enough it can be something that can go where people can go but vehicles can't. That's the ultimate advantage of a humanoid form that is approximal to human size. You run into ground pressure issues quickly though, I think powered frames that allow humans to carry more weight like an exosuit are going to come around and those will be useful for many applications where you can't bring a wheeled or tracked platform, but not full on suits.
>>
>>65363839
In Patlabor's case it also seems to be because for a fuckhuge megaproject, everything's big anyway and being able to flood the place with vehicles able to fill a bunch of different roles okay is better than having to rotate through more specialised tools.
Labors also benefit from hyper technology as the intro always reminds us, not that we've ever been told what the fuck it is.

this is literally just a robot design that has been around for ages at this point with a car seat bolted into it. What's even the point of the seat? Isn't it better to just remotely pilot it? Especially when it's flipping backwards like that? lol
