# Are Japanese anime robots isometric or allometric?

**[Hacker News](https://daily.dev/sources/hn)** · 16 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Japanese anime robots can be categorized into two groups: super robots and real robots. Super robots are often depicted as gigantic superheroes with incredible powers, controlled by a simple system. Real robots, on the other hand, are more realistic and rely on conventional power sources, requiring maintenance and logistics. The height and mass of anime robots have a scaling relationship, with the mass roughly increasing with height. However, anime robots exhibit allometric relationships, meaning their proportions change with size, and they are not isometric like humans.
