A video highlights a robot from startup Threehalves with an unconventional, monster-like appearance that was intentionally designed this way. The robot has four legs for stability, tools that attach directly to its wrists, and camera-equipped horn-like structures that allow a remote human operator to see and control it.
The goal is to let skilled workers perform dangerous tasks from a safe distance, such as searching wildfire zones, navigating collapsed buildings, or working in toxic environments. The robot is currently a half-built proof of concept rather than a finished product.
