Threehalves' demonic-looking four-legged robot is designed for remote hazardous work
Matt Wolfe · youtube · 2026-09-21
Matt Wolfe covers the Threehalves robot, which looks like a fantasy movie villain by design: four legs for stability, tools mounted directly on its wrists, and horns that house cameras for a remote operator.
The goal is to let skilled workers handle dangerous jobs—wildfire zones, collapsed buildings, toxic environments—from a safe distance. It's still a half-built proof of concept, but a genuinely promising (and terrifying-looking) robotics idea.
