July 1, 2007: Rescue robot

Undertoad · 07-01-2007, 08:20 AM

The innovative Japanese have done it again with this item, which xoB points out from Neatorama via the Tokyo Times blog, where there is already plenty of snark to go around. "...rumours that the robot is able to 'digest' those who don't make it and has been bought in bulk by a certain fast food restaurant chain have yet to be confirmed," says the Times. Good snark, that.

If you're curious as to what the machine does when the person is not lying down flat, or when the person is not oriented north-south to the machine so that it can drag them into its slidey bit, or what happens with spinal injuries, well that's a lot of questions we won't be able to answer. Still, it's nice to see progress being made.

Hurrah, first post!
This reminds me of how the Japanese whaling ships work... but less bloody and lacking the harpoons.
But trust the Japs to think of something like that!

Alright, I ain't scared, I'll say it: "Danger Will Robinson!! Danger!! Danger!!" I, for one, do not want to be eaten by a robot. Blown, or laid, maybe, but not eaten...

It is in a state where the main point rescue person is accommodated inside [robokiyu]. Inside [robokiyu], it is designed in such a way that the person and the conversation which are operated can do. In addition, in order to be able to supply oxygen even, it has become.

Wouldn't it be quicker, more versatile, and cheaper to hire 2 illegal immigrants with a stretcher?

Bruce, I think you've stumbled on the solution to a number of problems.

That is just sooo ... um... lame?

It looks like it will crush my head like it is doing to that other dummy.
Can I just fend for myself?

I for one, welcome our body snatching robot overlords.

How the heck is it ... what the heck is it grasping onto in order to drag the body? Looks like clothing, but that doesn't seem too terribly ...er...useful. Unless the designers were looking to undress the ..uh...victims...
Nah, couldn't be. Could it?

Occurs to me the cartmen ("Bring out your dead!) from Monty Python and the Holy Grail could have used one of these.

I would be really freaked out if I saw Chaz Heston in the background...
