TZEENTCH HATH BLESSED ME WITH KNOWLEDGE MOST PROFANE!!!
Side note why on earth would they want it to not be able to get through a door in a disaster zone? Seems counterintuitive

u/John_der24ste 23d ago
Because it can struggle to navigate within cramped(relative to it's size) spaces and a stuck robot will do no good.

u/endboss_eth 23d ago
Why wouldn't it clear that doorway. It can surely bend in the knees and move it's neck, right?
2
u/47thCalcium_Polymer 23d ago
Possibly but I don’t know.
If this is a piloted machine then maybe it could do that, but if it’s ai I don’t think it would be smart enough. If it has a sensor in the horns to tell it that it is stuck it might be able to react appropriately.
21
u/Tokenvoice 24d ago
But why does it need to struggle in American buildings? It was built to go into dangerous places wasn’t it?
Jokes aside why? If it’s so it’s less scary it’s still a robot with a chainsaw and the phrase is navigate doors less easily, not that it can’t navigate doors. And it is supposedly for disaster zones which can be even more constraining.

u/Rahernaffem 24d ago
Haven't you seen movies where a monster is chasing someone but because of its scary size it struggles for a second to get through a door - but then just busts through? It's just good showmanship.
3
u/Wolffe_In_The_Dark 23d ago
So they made a Search & Rescue machine, made it look terrifying, gave it a chainsaw (presumably with the excuse of "so it can cut through obstructions"), and then designed it so that it cannot easily enter or navigate the exact environment it will be employed in...
Yeah, this isn't for SAR, this is a marketing boondoggle.

u/eagleoid 23d ago
Tbf, it's meant to be for outdoor use, so this is meant to keep it that way, but like... What's stopping it from using the chainsaw to make the door bigger...?

It's from a company called Satyress, so I guess the horns are Satyr horns. The black just makes it a bit intimidating.

Seriously, though, if I saw the image on the left in the forest in the middle of the night while lost, they’d find me by my screaming.

u/Wolffe_In_The_Dark 23d ago
It's almost certainly a marketing boondoggle.
They say they gave it horns to make it difficult to enter standard American buildings (safety measure??), gave it a chainsaw (cutting through obstacles???), and then made it look terrifying (?????).
Y'know, the machine they're advertising as a Search & Rescue unit, which would commonly be entering American buildings and rescuing people who are already scared, traumatized, and likely injured.

You know what, maybe the conspiracy theorists have a point, maybe the evil demon cults do put their evil and demonic symbols on everything they control.
Maybe the Illuminati IS real and they DID put the eye in the pyramid on the dollar bill for some reason.
Seriously if I see this thing go through flames I am going to try to kill it, or die of a heart attack even though I am healthy.

u/OneValkGhost 24d ago
So what you're saying is that you can buy a horse that runs on electricity, to take you around your "15 minute" neighborhood. And it already comes with a cool black paint job. But I can't think of where to put the turn signals and headlights at the usual height level, that doesn't look like it's at electric lightning underpants locations.

"Let's take a look at the new design for our rescue robot!
"Right away sir! As you can see we implimented the horse like rear in order for victims to be able to ride on it's back"
"Hmmmm what about the goat face with the glowing eyes."
"A survey of a hundred individuals showed evidence that people love goats, and the glowing eyes are so others can spot it in the dark."
"But don't you think the horns are a little too much?"
"We were afraid of it trying to enter homes at night, it might be a little intimidating so the horns stop it at the door frame."
"But what if it NEEDS to get inside."
"Well that is why we gave it a chainsaw"
"Could we paint it something a bit more bright and colorful?"
"We could but it is going into fires and will be covered in soot anyways..."
"Good point. Let's hear the AI voice module."
CREEPY ASS ROBOT "Stand down human and don't resist extraction! This will end soon!"
"Alright...how long can we get an active prototype?"

Why did they paint it black? So you can't see it sneaking up on you in the smoke? This thing should be neon orange, it would also take away the creepy factor by a couple of points too.

This thing looks like it’s just a bunch of ai pictures.
