John Iadarola and Viviana Vigil break it down on The Damage Report. Leave a comment with your thoughts below!

This new robot centaur designed to save lives is pure nightmare fuel
"Somewhere in Auburn, California, a robotics startup called Satyress looked at the two great religions of modern robotics—the bipedal humanoid and the robot dog—and decided that both were not quite right. So they created Threehalves, a machine standing roughly two meters tall with a humanoid torso grafted onto a four-legged locomotion base, an angular horned skull with illuminated eyes, and power tools where its hands should be. It is, quite literally, a centaur.
It’s also the stuff of nocturnal horrors. So much so, that you might think it’s a joke (Satyress did not respond to a request for comment by publication). But strip away Guillermo del Toro’s demonic styling (a deliberate decision that connects the design to the brand, which is named after the female version of the Greek satyrs), and Threehalves becomes the latest entry in a long parade of form-factor gambling. Bipeds, quadrupeds, wheeled torsos, snake robots, drones with arms, ‘replicants’: every lab and robot company on Earth is betting on different form factors, each one a wager on what the future robotics market will actually pay for."
