Is this a return to monke meme made manifest?
OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Won’t people get used to this, making it harder to walk without it?
Dozzi92@lemmy.world 1 year 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 1 year ago
What sort of a trophy we talkin here?
FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 1 year 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 1 year 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

Only if it’s useful
Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Would the tail improve the movements for a Shinobi?

All the transspecies creatures here: “want!”
ameancow@lemmy.world 1 year ago
transspecies creatures
Furries. Just call them furries.
oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
No. Some furries might also be transspecies but they are two entirely different things.

looks more like a scorpion tail.
SethTaylor@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Imagine that thing when family come to visit. Wagging. Like. Crazy.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 year 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 1 year ago
Future cosplay is going to be lit.
TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Finally something so I can walk home when drunk.
Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Is belt mounted the only attachment option? Asking for a friend.
zqwzzle@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Rotate 180 degrees and consider the pegging possibilities. Some modifications required of course.
WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 year ago
No modifications required, it’s fine as is.
Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 1 year ago
I’d buy one. If I could wag it, I’d happily buy two!
BotsRuinedEverything@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This might be the most Japanese thing I’ve ever seen
noxypaws@pawb.social 1 year ago
I fucking need one
ameancow@lemmy.world 1 year ago
For your fursuit.
noxypaws@pawb.social 1 year 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 1 year 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.
