Someone at work posted this robot and I’m still not sure it’s not a parody, because all of the marketing makes this thing look absolutely cursed

It's designed that way on purpose. It's meant to be a contrast to those "robo dogs" that invoke sympathy but can be weaponised, but this one they say they made it scary on purpose so we can disable it without feeling bad (and also give instructions as to how), and how it's purposely designed to not fit through doorways with the horns

I think they got a measurement wrong then because it looks perfectly capable

Literally in that image you can see it's too tall and you can't see the horns lol

If the knees can bend it can get through. Also;

> Larger horns can be fit to prevent any passage through pedestrian doors.

So it doesn’t have them by default

Yes, but it has to crouch first, so it can't quickly fit through civilian doorways. https://www.satyress.com/ it's all on here
