In the load-carriage experiment (n = 5), the Centaur robot achieved a load-sharing ratio of 52.22% ± 15.52%, reduced the metabolic cost by 35.16% ± 4.95%, and improved lateral gait stability compared to a regular backpack when carrying a 20 kg load, equivalent to 28.8% ± 4.03% of the participants’ body weight.
Millennials are killing the backpack industry
I was just talking to some friends about we (millenials) really should’ve doubled down on the industry killing.
If it doesn’t come with a fully functioning set of robotic horse genitalia, then I’m not really sure what the point of this is.
For those experiencing disphoria for which that would help, this is genuinely a great idea lol. My first thought when I saw it was that it might be super useful for gender affirming care for those, but I guess a horse cock is even better lol
Do people experience dysphoria from not being a six legged centaur
I’ve heard people describe such! I’m not an expert in such things so just accepted it because I’m in no position to question somebody!
Chinese centaur-y
why
Its all fun and games until you need to walk up/down stairs.
Fashion! The world has to get with the times it’s 2026 and the year of the iron centaur.
Pfft. Doesn’t even come with a bow and arrows, much less a blingy quiver.
Imagine all the cosplay this opens up.
My first thought was physiotherapy?
Finally
imagine how far forward Trump could lean strapped into one of these babies
This could be great for partially paralyzed, stroke victims, cerebral palsy etc
Can carry heavy loads over rough terrain. Sherpas aren’t gonna like this.
Think of how many altitude sick, rich tourists they could carry with one of these bad boys, though
I doubt this can keep up with mountaineers yet
first bone glue, now centaurs. China isn’t inventing the future, they’re inventing fantasy.
They really are. I feel like one of these days I’ll wake up and China will be gone. We’ll find a lone Uni-tree robot doing Tai Chi @ Zhongnanhai with a note taped to its forehead:
We’re moving to the Andromeda Galaxy. Good luck with that Capitalism thing tho. k bye
Furry Conventions are gonna get crazier!
