Is this a return to monke meme made manifest?
OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Won’t people get used to this, making it harder to walk without it?
Dozzi92@lemmy.world 1 month 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!

What sort of a trophy we talkin here?
FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 1 month 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 month 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

Would the tail improve the movements for a Shinobi?

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

SethTaylor@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Imagine that thing when family come to visit. Wagging. Like. Crazy.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 month ago

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.

Future cosplay is going to be lit.

Is belt mounted the only attachment option? Asking for a friend.

Rotate 180 degrees and consider the pegging possibilities. Some modifications required of course.
WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 month ago
No modifications required, it’s fine as is.
Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 1 month ago
I’d buy one. If I could wag it, I’d happily buy two!

I fucking need one
ameancow@lemmy.world 1 month ago
For your fursuit.
noxypaws@pawb.social 1 month 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.

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.
