Yuki-taro automatic japanese robot snow plow

Author JoeDigital

This is the coolest snow plow I have seen to date. This Pikachu (from Pokemon for the people that don’t know) looking robot that measures 160 x 95 x 75 cm (63 x 37 x 30 in.) and weighs 400 kg (880 lbs). Armed with GPS and a pair of video cameras embedded in its eyes, the self-guided robot find snow and compacts it into blocks of ice which can then be used for other things such as refrigeration (for those of you wondering.. yes the blocks come out of the back of this unit).
