A 3-armed brachiating robot is viewed from above, with its center 3-fingered hand on the front, partial bar, and its two back 3-fingered grippers on a full bar in the bottom of the image. It is made of brightly-colored PLA suggesting 3D printing, and wires and motors are visible suggesting a prototype.
Two robots are viewed in front of a whiteboard suggesting a laboratory setting. The robot on the right side of the image is powered off, but the robot on the left is on, with its low-fi LED face smiling while it holds a 2 lb handweight out in its 7DoF arm. The robot is about 1.2 m tall.
