Nature: So, I've installed the new advanced gyro system and re-balanced your body so that you can walk straight, if you so desire. Since you don't need it anymore, I'm taking the tail back. Japan: No.
@@りんごジュースがおいしいょぉ no, it's not rude. "Excuse me" means I didn't understand your question. If you wanted me to explain the joke, it's easy: Japan refuses to accept nature'a reasoning why humans should not have a tail.
Jokes about furries aside, I've seen people comenting that humans don't need tails for equilibrium. Try to go up on a ladder with an object that obstructs your front visibility like on the video, or make the tree (I think it's called that) yoga position. If you didn't practice something like gymnastics, yoga, or trained at all for having more equilibrium and momentum, this thing can help you, and people with problems on that area. Also, probably someone uses that for combat and it would be either cool or dangerous depending on who does that, pretty much like Karate or other martial art.
Everyone here talking about furries, but all I can think is more like Doc Ock and scorpion from Spiderman... Just imagine a dude drops forward like he's gonna tie his shoe, and that thing whips up and OVER, and stabs someone, or you get four of those things and spread'em like a kitsune with each one ending in a gun and an auto-lock sorta detail that they focus on seperated heat-sources above a certain temperature. Y'all gon' be laughin' until the crazy dude puts'em on and we get a legit super-villain!
Imagine what this could do for people with Cerebral Palsy? Or really anyone else with Vertigo or Balance problems. Altho I wish it was a all in 1 system and not using air bladders. The lag in the balancing could cause some issues.
yea, a better method would either need to be hydraulic with a small tank on person, or cable and motor driven. Ideally, if they could make it efficient enough would be to use dielectric elastomer(artificial muscles). Then you wouldn't need to convert any mechanical energy.
All those "furry" comments but this is too large and dexterous compared to a dog tail, which is usually too underdeveloped to help with balance and solely serves communication. Now, if you wanted to cosplay as a xenomorph...
@@tigerbattlewealthy yes, but financially low iq. since instead of using money for things that matter, they use it on high quality suits that look like sports mascots in order to fulfill their ignorant desire to become a humanoid animal for either sexual gratification a hobby or something else 🤷🏻
@@Fishbag1 imagine having such a deeprooted hatred for an inconsistent group of random people that you feel the need to hamfist your bias atleast make the hate comment Work in a sentence, you literally even had to add a hashtag just to make it clear, and that final bit of the sentence was completely unrelated and really just a non-sequitur 1/10 hate comment it helped teach about the price limit and warned that saving is necessary and only had a hamfisted insult, do better next time
Sarif was right about one thing. It's in our nature to want to rise above our limits. Think about it. We were cold, so we harnessed fire. We were weak, so we invented tools. Every time we met an obstacle, we used creativity and ingenuity to overcome it. The cycle is inevitable. - Deus Ex Human Revolution
The moment I can become a cat gorl is the day I die of happiness. But, if we're all in the matrix and we could have all been in a Paradise this whole time -- I'm a little pissed.
@@vorpal997 It a faded in and out at the right times, and the drops were sync with the video for the most part. I think this present would have completely fallen flat for majority of people watching online without it. The TTS voice is very off-putting.
No, it can’t. Because this tail is based on your body position and shape to provide balance. A tail that can both balance and show emotions needs to be attached directly to your nerves, like Doc Ock’s arms.
"Stacked" cones connected by bowden cables (like cables used for bicycle breaks) would make a good accuated tail, only real issue is making it pull cables according to body movemet which can be tricky. (At least that's what I'm doing to move parts of my suit)
I think it is feasible for a neurological link to be met where a tail like this one perhaps could be controlled via direct feedback, or maybe an indirect link through reflexes
Combine this with a Zapata Hoverboard and a skydiver's wingsuit and you could do some truly amazing stuff. Be like Michael Keaton's Vulture in Spiderman: Homecoming. I can see the future of SWAT teams/First Responders the world over...
A few questions: Is the torque required for this beyond the reach of practically sized servo motors? How much torque would be required? EDIT: how well would a stepper motor work? Too slow? It seems to be significantly easier/cheaper to find inexpensive higher-torque stepper motors than it is to find higher-torque servo motors, by up to 2 orders of magnitude or so at the torques I looked at. How did you estimate the center of gravity? Your paper only mentions a "wearable body tracker mounted on the upper body" -- are you using an IMU to estimate the relative position of the tracker from the base of the tail, and then calculating the position of the tail that would leave the center of mass over the base of the tail? Or am I overcomplicating this? EDIT: found a more detailed paper, I understand the reasoning behind moving to the pneumatic system now.
I'm not a furry but man I'd kill for this. I hope we can see it in the near future because the positive stimulation I'd get as an autistic person is mind blowing
I am one of the most agile hikers I know. I can run down several thousand feet in elevation in a matter of minutes without losing my balance. Let me test this on the mountains so we can learn how beneficial it may be in that type of scenario.
That compressor and all those actuators don't look very transportable to me. I know I know, the final product will not be bigger than a scuba gear. Still I'd rather not run around with a scuba gear and this tail on my back. Also there action was very jerky with a noticeable lag. I'd take a powered exoskeleton over this.
How much did it cost to develop the robotic narrator voice? How much would it have cost to have hired a human copy translator? Is this the original account or a repost? Robot tail seems like a functional robot tail tho, gold star for that!
What Pocholo Pan said, this is literally mentioned in the video. Are you hard of hearing or are you one of those people that comment before watching a video?
