Tsubame Industries has built 3.5-ton, 15-foot robots that can morph into vehicles. The Japanese startup plans to sell them for $3 million each after unveiling them later this month. The robot is manned by a pilot who sits in the cockpit in its torso and controls it with joysticks. Tokyo-based Tsubame Industries completed its prototype of the robot this summer and plans to sell five for $3 million each, Reuters reported. The CEO of Tsubame Industries, Ryo Yoshida, told Reuters that it's been in development for two years.

The 3.5-ton robot, which will be unveiled at the Japan Mobility Show later this month, has two modes: the upright 'robot mode' and a 'vehicle mode' in which it can travel up to 10 km (6 miles) per hour. "Japan is very good at animation, games, robots and automobiles so I thought it would be great if I could create a product that compressed all these elements into one," said Ryo Yoshida, the 25-year-old chief executive of Tsubame Industries. Yoshida plans to build and sell five of the machines for the well-heeled robot fan, but hopes the robot could one day be used for disaster relief or in the space industry.
