SUMMARY:

 

Threehalves is a humanoid‑centaur prototype created by Satyress Robotics, a small California startup, in 2025–26.It combines a goat‑like humanoid torso and head with a quadruped horse‑style lower body, designed to carry tools such as chainsaws for forestry safety and wildfire response.The robot is teleoperated, not autonomous, and remains an experimental prototype.

 

EDITORIAL:

 

Unlike industrial centaur robots such as Run Robotics Centaur, Threehalves is a garage‑built prototype that went viral online in 2026.Its unusual design — goat head, humanoid torso, quadruped body — sparked debate about safety, ethics, and practicality in humanoid robotics.

 

CLASSIFICATION:

 

Type: Centaur‑style humanoid robot

 

Morphology: Goat‑like humanoid torso + quadruped horse‑style body

 

Category: Humanoid (experimental prototype)

 

Conclusion: Threehalves is a humanoid robot optimized for forestry safety demonstrations, but remains a non‑commercial prototype.
