This work is the extended version of a paper presented at the conference HMM2021, about the history of mechanical engineering. First, the initial cultural and industrial steps in the robotic field in Japan are introduced, to display the beginning of this interlaced path, before WW2; then, in the context of the aftermaths of the war, some famous anime heroes are presented as ancestors of the coming mecha anime series. The rising research in the field of robotics and more generally the developments of contemporary Japanese automation industry are then drawn, as a technological substrate for mecha conception. In particular, Masahiro Mori studies are taken into consideration to identify an actual robot design pattern to apply to the following comparative description and examination of the different mecha; finally, thanks to this analysis, the common breeding ground whence robotics and mecha (and their reciprocal influences) arise, is outlined.

这项工作是在 HMM2021 会议上发表的一篇关于机械工程历史的论文的扩展版本。首先，介绍了日本机器人领域最初的文化和产业步骤，展示了这条交错的路径的开端，在二战之前；然后，在战争余波的背景下，一些著名的动漫英雄作为即将到来的机甲动漫系列的祖先出现。然后绘制了机器人领域的新兴研究以及更广泛的当代日本自动化工业的发展，作为机甲概念的技术基础。特别是，Masahiro Mori 的研究被考虑在内，以确定实际的机器人设计模式，以应用于以下不同机甲的比较描述和检查；最后，多亏了这个分析，
