Does it come in a front side model?
Can I… uhhm… get one too? Maybe a little more fluffy? Ohh, and it would be nice if it could wag too… U know… Just for… uhhm… balancing purposes…
(‘~‘; )
👉👈
Theres a few companies that make moving tails (and wings) for a few hundred USD, but they tend to be waitless rather than designed for balancing
Are the wings flyable ?
Have you seen how big a hang glider is? That’s roughly what a human-mass creature needs to fly.
I can think of another demographic that would like this…
It’s Japan, we all know what they really invented it for. But they needed something acceptable to put on the grant application
OwO
Just what the japanes elderly need, a heavy battery powered contraption strapped to their waist to be more stable. I’ve also heard in Tokyo that everyone is always 5ft apart from one another, plenty of room to be whipping a pseudo tail around.
Just uhh…give it a few wheels, optimally in the front…like make it 4 wheels and they can grab 2 handles with brakes to stabilize on slopes. They might not even have to use the tail too much
…oh…that‘s just a walker, isn‘t it?
a walker but strap 2 jet engines to it
Oh that rural Tokyo, where the rice fields go on further than the eye can see. This would be super helpful navigating those plank bridges.
The elderly and disabled will not be their biggest client base.
I’d get 5 so I can work without hands.
Be careful or you’re gonna end up fighting Spiderman.
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.
It remeber me an painting of Patrick Woodroffe
They got the guy three sets of robohands but couldn’t figure out some mechanolegs for him?
Same for this Tail, there are better system to solve postural problems, walking difficulties and other physical issues. How will you simply sit down with this tail? Or precisely in Japan, entering in an Subway with it? They often invent overcomplicated solutions without need, for easy to solve problems, above solving it only tangential and even adding more problems.
Tails only cars. Obviously. Perfectly economical solution to tack a whole other car for the rich people with theriandroid tails to have space.
Oh goodness, it’s mounted to his HIP. At first glance I thought this was a whole other level of parody product lmao.
Just a pitch: Tail can easily be detached and works as a walking cane.
I do petty every physically sensative individual that has to take overcrowded public transport though
Ideally it would work as a seat that automatically braces under the user if they fall backwards, or just is able to touch the ground and help the user not lose balance, then revert to walking-balancing mode when the user stands up again.
It genuinely could have beneficial use for people with mobility problems, it’s too bad these uses are going to be utterly drowned out by furries looking for new accessories to feel unique.
Now that is some kickass artwork
what about the added weight of the tail? I dont believe elderly got good knees
Yeah we should make it more like the rear-half of a centaur
atp isn’t it just wheelchair but legs
so legchair
Is this a return to monke meme made manifest?
All the transspecies creatures here: “want!”
transspecies creatures
Furries. Just call them furries.
No. Some furries might also be transspecies but they are two entirely different things.
There are furries, and there are furries who take things too far.
You have no idea what you are talking about. Please don’t comment again until you’ve actually done some research.
lol I know enough that i stopped doing commissions for furries over a decade ago because there were so many who took it too far and then got way too serious like this ^
edit after regretting checking bio: really guys, you can roleplay as colony organisms and refrigerators and small planets and whatever else all you want, at least try to sound like you’re having fun doing it. Have some self awareness and make your alternative identity a source of joy for yourself and others and you will get a lot more acceptance.
looks more like a scorpion tail.
Future cosplay is going to be lit.
Make it a monkey tail and I could pull off a decent vegetable cosplay.
