Just like a scene from a science fiction movie, a four-meter-tall and weighing 1.5 metric ton human-piloted robot named "Method-2" took it first steps in a lab in Gunpo, South Korea, on Tuesday.

The giant robot, designed by the Seoul-based company Korea Future Technology, can walk on its two metal feet and move its arms and fingers in synch with the human pilot's gestures.

The creators claim it's the world's first manned bipedal robot.
