Okay assuming these are real and assuming you can walk in them, fuck me that's an amazing piece of engineering. I generally don't even care how they look. To get these to work as a high heel is unbelievably impressive.

I just want to press a button and have them walk for me

I want to be able to stand still while the hundreds of little legs on my shoes scurry to propel me forward

Give me a $250,000 research grant, 5 other engineering students, and a nebulous deadline at some point in the next 30 years, and consider it done.

Ha, really? Is that 'done' or done?

[–] Snoozemumrik@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Only the prototype of course. Another 100 million for the actual product probably covers it

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Signed! I like your evident experience and realism on the subject. Take my money!

I wonder what those are like to walk in. Be an interesting experience for sure

Thanks, I hate it.
