About ARCHAX

ARCHAX is Tsubame Industries' piloted robot built around a cockpit, articulated torso and wheeled base. The operator controls the machine from inside while cameras provide external views, positioning it as a rideable entertainment and exhibition platform.

The product has been offered through purchase and leasing routes, and Tsubame has shown special-edition design work alongside the standard machine. Dimensions, controls and exterior treatment differ where a named special model is involved.
