No wonder why Japan has now become one of the countries with the technological developments of the world's fastest robot. Because since 200-300 years ago, their ancestors have been able to create a robot!
Remarkable indeed, since the Edo era, Japan's skilled carpenters are able to make automata (engines that can operate on its own). They called Karakuri.
Karakuri dolls are equipped with pulleys and weights in order to move. However, even with the technology as simple as that, these robots are able to perform movements that are amazing. See the video below to see the work of Hideki Karakuri Higashino, one of the Karakuri craftsman who is now the totals are extremely rare in Japan. Amazing!
