UK Artists Develop 24-inch Flexible Remote Control Tail for Humans

Posted on August 24, 2013

Greyworld, a group of UK artists that create public art, have developed a 24-inch electronic remote-controlled tail for humans. The group spent two years designing a tail that has four different modes: slow moves, fast moves, dancing and a mode that mixes all the moves together.

The designers look at cat and dog tails to come up with the design for the tail. Steel cables are used to make the tail flexible. The tail is covered with fake fur. The tail is currently a project on Kickstarter. It has 28 backers so far. Take a look:
