Just what the japanes elderly need, a heavy battery powered contraption strapped to their waist to be more stable. I've also heard in Tokyo that everyone is always 5ft apart from one another, plenty of room to be whipping a pseudo tail around.
Just uhhβ¦give it a few wheels, optimally in the frontβ¦like make it 4 wheels and they can grab 2 handles with brakes to stabilize on slopes. They might not even have to use the tail too much
β¦ohβ¦thatβs just a walker, isnβt it?
Oh that rural Tokyo, where the rice fields go on further than the eye can see. This would be super helpful navigating those plank bridges.
looks like human godzilla
I was a bit surprised because I had never heard of that research group, but apparently they are not from the engineering department, but from media design.
Here is some more Info, if anyone is curious. But it seems more like a concept paper, than an extra prototype.
All the transspecies creatures here: "want!"
transspecies creatures
Furries. Just call them furries.
No. Some furries might also be transspecies but they are two entirely different things.
There are furries, and there are furries who take things too far.
You have no idea what you are talking about. Please don't comment again until you've actually done some research.
lol I know enough that i stopped doing commissions for furries over a decade ago because there were so many who took it too far and then got way too serious like this ^
I'd get 5 so I can work without hands.
Be careful or you're gonna end up fighting Spiderman.
I can think of another demographic that would like this...
It's Japan, we all know what they really invented it for. But they needed something acceptable to put on the grant application
Can I... uhhm... get one too? Maybe a little more fluffy? Ohh, and it would be nice if it could wag too... U know... Just for... uhhm... balancing purposes...
(β~β; )

Theres a few companies that make moving tails (and wings) for a few hundred USD, but they tend to be waitless rather than designed for balancing
Are the wings flyable ?
Have you seen how big a hang glider is? That's roughly what a human-mass creature needs to fly.
I fucking need one
For your fursuit.
I don't have a fursuit.
The really frustrating thing about that fact is that I commissioned and paid for a fursuit, and yet I have no fursuit.
Don't worry, you get it back after I am done terrorising people at Disneyland.
Why Disneyland you might ask? I've never been there, never had a fursuit, never framed somebody and never terrorised large groups of people.
It's like four birds with one stone, while stone shards are flying everywhere.
what about the added weight of the tail? I dont believe elderly got good knees
Yeah we should make it more like the rear-half of a centaur
atp isn't it just wheelchair but legs
so legchair
It remeber me an painting of Patrick Woodroffe
Now that is some kickass artwork
