Next: Hummer HT2 Phone Is Smaller, Brighter, Even More Pointless than the Original
Daisy, Robo Daisy, Spin Your Sculptural Propeller, Do
Yesterday we had one scary(ish) robot design, and here’s another. Ok%26mdash; not so scary, really, as all Daisy’s slice’n'dice menace is just a sham. That huge propeller is simply a fiberglass copy of a cargo ship one. And all it does is flex and rotate its robot muscles, slowly. But it’s massive, and it does have a built-in camera which allows it to track passers-by, and spin its blades at them as you can see in the video below.
Designed by Christian Moeller, the modded industrial robot arm is an installation artwork in Terminal 3 at Changi Airport, Singapore. Daisy’s designed to “bring a smile to your face and a moment of comic relief to your trip.” Or, of course, gentle sci-fi movie chills to your spine as you imagine it really gunning its motors and carving its bloody way into the news.
Considering the stressed-out rather than blissed-out state of mind of most people wandering through an airport terminal, I suspect more of the latter sensation goes on.
