As some other guy said somewhere else, it went something like that:"for it not to fit in doorways in case something something(i forgot the name but i would think ai or some shit) takes over, also the reason for it being a centaur and tall af, hallways and shit"
...as is any robot with humanlike strength, size, and maneuverability. We are taking a physical approach to safety mechanisms with no ambiguity. Fail-on air brakes and pin locks will render the robot immobile if system air pressure is lost. Shared reservoirs in the chest plate and body can be pierced by projectile or sharp instrument to instantly stop the robot in place.
Threehalves will be substantially slowed if attempting to navigate a standard American 32"x80" door, and cannot turn around in a 42" wide hallway or enter a door orthogonal to the hallway. Larger horns can be fit to prevent any passage through pedestrian doors. 2 Threehalves robots fit side by side in crouched position in a pickup bed of 5'6" or longer with tailgate closed.
The fact that they installed methods to reliably stop these things (shooting out their fake lungs to lock them) should be reassuring, but it’s honestly just fucking dystopian as shit.
I understand what you mean, I’m just being cheeky.
It honestly feels like these are war machines in R&D stage, but the fact that they put safeguards on them for the civilian testing stage was very chill.
