The science fiction film "Interstellar" introduced audiences to TARS – an unconventional humanoid robot with a unique modular design. Now enthusiasts around the world are recreating this concept using 3D printing technology, and the results demonstrate how cinema inspires real developments in service robotics.
Service Robots with Unconventional Design
Unlike traditional humanoid robots with anthropomorphic bodies, TARS features a rectangular modular structure that can transform depending on the task. This design approach opens new possibilities for commercial robots and industrial applications.
Modern 3D printing allows engineers to prototype such complex mechanisms much faster. Service robot manufacturers are already exploring similar modular architectures for their developments.
Service Robots for Various Tasks
A modular design like TARS allows one robot to perform multiple functions:
- Walking mode – movement on uneven surfaces
- Compact mode – moving through narrow spaces
- Working mode – manipulating objects
These capabilities make such service robots universal assistants in complex conditions where traditional robots cannot cope.
Where to Buy Service Robots
Modern robotics is actively implementing ideas inspired by science fiction. Companies like UBTECH, SoftBank Robotics, and Boston Dynamics are developing humanoid robots that are already available for purchase.
In Armenia, you can buy service robots through ASMO – the official distributor of leading robotics manufacturers. We offer robots for business, education, and home use.
