I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going...
I am one of those researchers, ask me anything!
Any plans for scaling up?
Cool! What would you say is the main non-dildo application for self-propelled crawlers like this? Like what purpose were you guys envisioning?
penetrating the ruins of a building (recent or archeological) to search for valuables like corpses, alive people, or archeological artifacts
...aaaaand then violating them (obviously)
What’s with all the ridges on it?
it's ergonomic, feels better on the body, ribbed for your pleasure
At long last Fujidick is real
Is a flared base mod available?
With less pinch points?
No, it cannot crawl backwards.
The hole was made for it though.
Ha ha YES..... yes...
Context?
Horror story called “The Enigma of Amigara Fault”.
::: spoiler Tap for spoiler A central part of the climax is not being able to move backwards out of a hole, with disturbing consequences. :::
Paige, No!
Can it be controlled by an app? Asking for a friend.
this is going in some ones bum. it might not come back out again without a enema or surgical intervention. but some one will, you mark my words.
Looking at it, I wouldn't be surprised if "can crawl up the bum" was one of the stated goals of the project. I can see medical applications for a soft robot that navigates tight spaces. Let's hope "can crawl out the bum" is on the roadmap.
Technically, if it keeps crawling up the bum it will eventually come out the other side.
you must have the anatomy of a furry
seems like colonoscopy would be a nice application for this
'Anything is a sex toy if you're brave enough.'

Attach a long ass rope on its base.
It doesn't have to be an ass rope to start with, but it will be by the time it's done.
the rope should probably be measurably larger than a long ass if it's going to be safe for use.
They should develop it for its purpose in mind.
Tbh they probably did, there's likely more profit in it as a luxury sex toy than in prosthetics or manufacturing.
I work in prosthetics and have seen a couple of tentacle-like terminal end devices made over the years, but they all fail to truly be useful for anything.
They fall into the category of being not efficient enough for specific or universal uses. For something like manufacturing they aren't as efficient as building a specific tool for a specific purpose, and for something like a prosthetic they aren't useful enough to overcome the fact that most things we interact with everyday are made to work with something in the shape of a hand.
So an expensive space dildo is likely the most profitable option if they can bring it to market at an achievable price. But honestly, most of these things are mainly created as an eye grabbing marketing scheme for some universities research department.
It's not meant for prosthetics or manufacturing. It's a robot that can get into tight spaces without depending on wheels, tracks, or legs, which are likely to get hung up on corners and debris. It could be used to, for example, crawl into rubble, or explore irregular caves. If it's designed right it could be made pretty cheaply, even. Biggest downside is that it can't climb, but that problem exists with most other robot designs as well.
It essentially has the same issue. How many scenarios can we think of that need something that can crawl into rubble or explore irregular caves, but without the ability to climb? It's what happens when a design's aesthetic is developed before its function.
When aesthetics is the selling point of an engineering project then the aesthetics is its purpose. In this case it's to advertise a university's research department.

Nope. Too articulated. Its a sex tentacle. Much better.
have you seen a male elephant getting ready to smash
I--...no...have you?
Yes. In a ~~wildlife documentary~~ porn. They have total control. Shit's wild.
Female dolphins have as much control over the inner walls of their vaginas as we do over our (facial) cheeks. They can apply pressure and change the internal shape of the cavity.
I'm afraid to ask how we learned that.
I remember as a teen coming across this site where someone meticulously documented (might've been made up) their sexual relationship with a dolphin.
The internet was a wild, wonderful place.
Maybe a text from this woman
No, but I would watch that video.
Sure... hypothetical.
