Robo Mule

Robo Mule

Strange headless body
knees angled forward and back
Where does carrot go?

On the interwebs the other day, I spied a video that shows a robotic "mule" made to carry stuff for the military. It is at the same time horrifying and jaunty, mesmerizing and wince inducing, grotesque and eliciting anthropomorphic love. It has sort of a mule face but no real head, and some little antennae attached to its frame that bop around like ears. I love you robo mule. I will always take care of you. I will buy you carrots that you cannot eat. I will load you up so you can carry my crap. I will watch your silly legs hippity hop along as we navigate rocky canyons and gulleys. I am sad you have no head.
