Overview
- Photos of Threehalves circulated on X in late July 2026 and racked up millions of views, producing a mix of memes, alarm and skepticism about the robot’s horned appearance and chainsaw‑ready wrists.
- Satyress and founder Beau G. say Threehalves is a prototype intended for remote control by a human using a joystick and cameras rather than operating autonomously.
- The machine combines a humanoid upper torso and four‑legged chassis with quick‑connect wrists for tools like chainsaws, drills and impact guns, and the horns house cameras to track limb and tool positions.
- Company materials list physical fail‑safe systems including emergency brakes, locking pins that engage if air pressure is lost, pierceable reservoirs to stop the robot, and horn‑mounted cameras for redundancy.
- The project is still under development with no price or release date, roughly $150,000 spent so far, and outstanding questions about regulation, insurance and how utilities and forestry crews might adopt teleoperated robots.
