April 3, 3901.
On the shore of Lake Tosmo in the Shoro Kingdom, a major construction project was underway.

In other words, they are power suits or power assistants for construction.
Since it is not a suit of armor, the operator does not enter the suit but rides on the back of the shoulder.

It stands 2.5 meters tall and weighs about 600 kilograms.
It has three legs for stability.
The reason why it has three legs instead of four is that the basic control system for grounding the legs can be simplified.

There is no head, and the pilot's upper body is placed at that position.
A guard bar is attached to protect the operator's head, so that a direct hit from a steel frame will not cause any damage to the operator's head.

The robot is about three times stronger than a human, making it suitable for heavy-duty work that does not require precision.
"Oh, I like this one."

"It's just a prototype, but it's working great.
"It was hard to handle at first, but once you get used to it, it's nothing to worry about."
The controls are loosely connected from the elbows and knees down to the fuselage.

Precise movements are therefore impossible.
The hands are mitten-like, with no fingers, so they can barely grasp an object.
In other words, he can only raise and lower his arms and grasp and release objects.

However, this is still sufficient for lifting stones and carrying building materials.
Its walking speed is about the same as that of a human being, so it will not run out of control.
This is the result of the efforts to develop a specification that would not be diverted to military use.

The reason for this format, as mentioned earlier, was to make it difficult to divert the equipment to military use.

The specifications are as follows.
Jin thought that it would have to be modified to the extent that it would be almost a different machine to be used in battle.

In addition, by simplifying the structure as much as possible and using inexpensive materials, the cost can be kept at about 50,000 dollars.
In Japanese yen, the cost is about 500,000 yen, which is less than the price of a mini-car.

However, if a technical fee is added, the price increases about three times as much as the original price. That is, 150,000 dollars, or about 1,500,000 yen.
Since the price was about the same as that of a high-class mini-car, Jin thought that it would not be impossible to introduce the system.
In fact,

Jin has told them that he cannot sell them because they are prototypes.
I also told them that if they pointed out any defects, I would give them priority in mass production, so each of them tried various things.

"But I don't think it's a good idea to increase the performance too much. ......"
Power can be increased tenfold or more if you don't mind using muscular materials, but the skeleton will not be able to sustain it, and it will be difficult to control, which in turn leads to higher costs.
The same applies to the speed of movement.

Jin decided to give in to the idea that some users might be able to modify the manacelles by themselves.

"Is durability a problem?"
The robot was designed to be handled roughly because it is used for civil engineering work, and although there are minor scratches, there are no scratches or dents that would affect the operation of the robot.
