I assumed it'd be about automated angular momentum rather than gripping things.
Like how animals in real life use tails.
Just rather than on earth it's balance, it'd be consistent direction.
- usrusr 3y agoI had the same expectations. Would be a super difficult control problem I think, with stuff like the end of the tails motion range, collisions, lack of ability to predict the motions of actual limbs and so on. Perhaps a 2D model could be a useful approach to this problem, with super low friction swivel chairs too high for the feet to interact with the ground? Might even be an interesting playground for Neuralink. Robotic tails with a diffuse control from the brain, now that would put the "furries" comments elsewhere in the thread on the next level!
- ben_w 3y agoI've seen a few EEG based prosthetic controls in pre-pandemic cons. I think one was a DIY hacker project to control a tail, another was a commercial thing just for ears: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurowear https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurowear
