Is this a return to monke meme made manifest?
OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Won’t people get used to this, making it harder to walk without it?
Dozzi92@lemmy.world 11 months ago
And also sitting down is hard now. But yeah, you have to imagine all the stabilization your muscles used to do are now taken care of by this robot tail. So atrophy away!
OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 11 months ago
What sort of a trophy we talkin here?
FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Eventually the tail offers to curl up and carry you, then we’re just a step away from the Wall-E chairs
KeenFlame@feddit.nu 11 months ago
Exactly, it will work just like glasses, help people avoid real struggle and not do their best to overcome simple issues like aging hips
silasmariner@programming.dev 11 months ago
Only if it’s useful
Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Would the tail improve the movements for a Shinobi?

All the transspecies creatures here: “want!”
ameancow@lemmy.world 11 months ago
transspecies creatures
Furries. Just call them furries.
oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
No. Some furries might also be transspecies but they are two entirely different things.

looks more like a scorpion tail.
SethTaylor@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Imagine that thing when family come to visit. Wagging. Like. Crazy.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 11 months ago
i just want to know if i can wag it and maybe wap someone with it if they’re walking too close, all with just my brain

Improve it by covering it in fake skin, the same used on limb prosthesis! /s

Make it a monkey tail and I could pull off a decent vegetable cosplay.
Spacehooks@reddthat.com 11 months ago
Future cosplay is going to be lit.

Finally something so I can walk home when drunk.
Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Is belt mounted the only attachment option? Asking for a friend.
zqwzzle@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Rotate 180 degrees and consider the pegging possibilities. Some modifications required of course.
WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 11 months ago
No modifications required, it’s fine as is.
Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 11 months ago
I’d buy one. If I could wag it, I’d happily buy two!
BotsRuinedEverything@lemmy.world 11 months ago
This might be the most Japanese thing I’ve ever seen
noxypaws@pawb.social 11 months ago
I fucking need one
ameancow@lemmy.world 11 months ago
For your fursuit.
noxypaws@pawb.social 11 months ago
I don’t have a fursuit.
The really frustrating thing about that fact is that I commissioned and paid for a fursuit, and yet I have no fursuit.
tomiant@programming.dev 11 months ago
Does it come in a front side model?

I was a bit surprised because I had never heard of that research group, but apparently they are not from the engineering department, but from media design.
Here is some more Info, if anyone is curious. But it seems more like a concept paper, than an extra prototype.
