- Toru Yamaguchi - biped builder - http://www5b.biglobe.ne.jp/~yume-s/index.html
Fantastic bipeds, detailed photos and lots of videos, plus other amazing walking robot creatures.
"So, how did Yamaguchi-san do it? That's another really surprising part of his story. He isn't an engineer or designer by training.
In fact, he's the operator of a noodle shop in Kochi, Japan. He's entirely self-taught, and never had any formal technical courses or
education other than what he has studied on his own.
But, he has the passion, and the dream, and he's determined to make them a reality. In fact, his nickname within the Japanese humanoid robot
community is "Yume" - the Japanese word for 'Dream'."
