Roland Piquepaill's latest blog entry describes the T-52 Enryu Hyper rescue robot, a 3.5 meter high, 5 ton, teleoperated robot built by Tmsuk, the same company that built the much smaller Banryu home guard robot that we've reported on in the past. More info and photos of the T-52 can be found at SpaceDaily.com, RoboticSpot, Yahoo! news, and dottocoumu. That last link has some fun video of Enryu ripping the door off of a car and picking up a steel girder in one hand.
