Everyone's calling this thing demonic. There's no AI in it. It's called Threehalves, built by a California startup called Satyress. Two meters tall, and it's meant to walk into wildfires and collapsed buildings so a person doesn't have to. Nobody's inside it. A guy drives it with a joystick from a safe distance. It has no hands at all — the wrists take a chainsaw or a drill instead. The brakes run on air, and if it loses pressure they clamp on by themselves, which is why the company published a diagram telling you where to puncture it if you need it to stop. It also can't turn around in a hallway. No price, no release date, and most of the pictures going around are renders. #threehalves #satyress #rescuerobot #centaurrobot #sucklessai
