A startup called #Satyress #Robotics (🤔) has built a disaster response/ search and rescue #robot that's a 2 meter tall #centaur

@dzwiedziu the eyes and the color scheme are the same. This is from a Star Wars movie right?
-
Moooi?
That's the company's name? Does it have a meaning?
Well Google is a real company
I'm not complaining!
@benroyce Mooi is Dutch for beautiful. Not sure where the third 'o' comes in.
I'm just glad it's an expensive horse, otherwise I somehow would have to find space in my not quite big enough for a life-size horse home.

Yes, more details: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/congratulations-you-are-being-rescued -
@benroyce
If this is three-halves, I guess four-halves is just an eight-legged goat that folds upwards in the middle.@androcat you're 150% right

@benroyce
Yes, more details: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/congratulations-you-are-being-rescued@dzwiedziu i swear this has something to do with this garage inventor's strange set of enthusiasms. it's too similar in two design elements

Practicality has nothing to do with it. Buy 4! When visitor's ask, make a joke about the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Bask in their befuddlement

A startup called #Satyress #Robotics (
) has built a disaster response/ search and rescue #robot that's a 2 meter tall #centaurSo I've been lost in the woods for two weeks. I'm feverish from the untreated water I drank and delirious because I've eaten very little
Then I see fucking #Terminator #Baphomet walk up on me
I don't think I'm being rescued
I think I've passed to the other side and I'm going to technohell- I'm being punished for being grumpy about #AI
-
@benroyce I would rather stay lost than be rescued by that demonic looking goofy ass... thing.
@macacator you can't refuse. you've chosen battle then

@staringatclouds if this is 2nd iteration that implies existence of 3rd iteration
NO!
-
@benroyce Whatever it is, I like that you can stop it effectively by stabbing it in the chest, seems like a smart touch
@TeflonTrout @benroyce I'm not pulling out my knife to stab the metal horse wielding a chainsaw in my face.
Makes the "shoot it in the saddle" approach seem a little saner, though.

unintentional or intentional brilliant marketing
but then i wonder exactly what fucking market they are aiming for
@benroyce @fruchti I guessed the "this looks so cool OMFG I need one!!!" community, which will quickly become the "wait, it doesn't actually do anything I need and needs to be constantly taken apart and cleaned because dirt got into it through all those openings and it's broken 99% of the time so I took the horns off to get it through the door and now it's a conversation piece in my living room or rusting in my garage" community.
-
@staringatclouds if this is 2nd iteration that implies existence of 3rd iteration
NO!
@benroyce 3rd iteration has 6 legs
4th has 8 etc...
-
The basic centaur shape makes sense. Four legs for stability combined with an upright posture for visibility. It's the facial features that are creepy.

@benroyce I think my joke would be three horses and one fancy horse and insisting they are all horses indeed.

This "Three Halves" robot gave me a very strong hit of, "This is an art project with distinct Dadaist and between-the-2-World-Wars pacifist vibes," Ben.
Dystopian times birth dystopian art, in my opinion.
I, for one, think we're being punked very cleverly by someone with a sense of humor that aligns very nicely with my own -- right down to the Baphomet head.
Bong hits 4 quadruped robots with sinister heads. -
@benroyce @xChaos @plantagolabs
I wanted to post this somewhere else last week. Did not do it.
Here is the right place, me thinks.
Time for Mrs. Emma Peel and John Steed again ! -
