Inspired by the mythical unicorn, Robot Unicorn features an innovative body and joint design.

The robot's tail has been redesigned for the Gen 2 unicorn model. The previous tail had little use, but now it has been designed as a robotic arm. This innovation catapults the unicorn's practicality to new heights. Imagine a tail that can grasp, lift and carry objects weighing up to approximately 6.61 pounds.
Picture this scenario: You’re wedged under a car, tinkering with its inner workings. Instead of struggling to reach for tools, you turn to your unicorn companion and say, "Can you pass me the 5/8 open ender, please?" And there it is – the robotic tail extends, placing the tool in your hands.
As the software continues to evolve, its fetch-and-carry capabilities become even more practical. Soon, this robotic companion will prove genuinely useful – like simply lending an extra hand (or tail) around the house.
