Arque, the artificial tail
7.8.2019
Translation: Eva Francis
Forget about designer clothes, smart cars and expensive watches. This invention is what’s really going to get you what you want. This is artificial tail you've always wanted.
Enjoy attention? This invention is for you. This T-Rex style is the way to go. Sadly, the robotic tail developed by Japanese researchers at Keio University is only a prototype. Too bad, as this tail made me want to swing from tree to tree like a little monkey when I first saw a video of it.
Our tailbone will be happy to get an extension and be freed from its miserable existence as an evolutionary leftover. Just imagine the potential of this prosthetic tail: it could be used as a skateboarding aid, an extra leg for dancing Rock'n'Roll lessons or even for climbing mountains.
Who knows – the Japanese researchers might add emotional intelligence to the tail. Would be awesome to wag your own tail, wouldn’t it? What would you use the tail for?
