It seems like a cross between the "Iron Giant" and a robot transformed into science fiction movies of the same name, the robot nicknamed BugJuggler one day can juggle three cars simultaneously in one. Entertainment event of man.

"BugJuggler represents a new field in robot entertainment." Breaking out of the car crushers of the past, BugJuggler will use 21st century technology to perform breathtaking performances. I juggle three cars at once, " Grannet explained.

Designed by a former NASA engineer, the robotic operator controls the BugJuggler's operation using tactile feedback, which is connected to high-speed servo valves. The robot will be powered by a hydraulic battery, allowing for smooth movement when throwing cars or other heavy objects. BugJuggler will also operate in a safe radius, in case of dropping a car while juggling.

The first phase of the BugJuggler project will be a 2.4-meter high juggling robot, which only has one hand capable of throwing and catching up to 113kg. The complete version will need to be capable of holding and throwing a car weighing up to 1,220kg.

James Granett and his associates have been designing, fabricating and operating equipment for James Bond's jet fight scene in the movie "The Living Daylights." I, estimated at $ 2.3 million.
