Variables in robotic accidents by horses
Universal host post:
The concept of a mounting robotic horse person, to ride difficult horses, is a palatable one.
This is so, as some horses are either antical, nasty or do not desire humans placed upon their backs.
So the invention of a humanized mountable robot, to ride on a horses back, might have a market.
These types of robots however, would have to interface both a rugged impact resistant chassis, however this rugged impact body, would have to be wired internally, with finer components, that could offer the features of snapping away, when they meet with a violet impact.
The list of these impacts, would follow such as, Being stomped on by a thousand pound animal.
Riding at a forward speed of some thirty-five miles per hour, to slam into a tree.
To be thrown from the horses back at speed over thirty five miles per hour and sustain bodily impact.
To have elements of the torso or head sustain impacts that would dent the side of processed facia metal.
To be tossed good distances over cliffs and hillsides, to where the impact to the body frame, could register in the tons of force.
2. The second phase of designing a veritable riding utility robot, would be to design features into this robot, to where gentle input action could be added to the ridden animal.
To where the posture of the riding robot, would emulate a human being, so as to calm the horse.
To issue calm commands and or comments to the horse, so that after while, the horse would respond to the robot riding atop the animal, pretty much the same way as it would to a human.
These ideas counter the problem of robotic toughness, being human-like and impact damage scenarios, that makes these input prime areas of robotic philosophy.

One question philip168.
How do you manage to type while wearing a straight jacket?
Maybe he uses his nose, or his eyelashes

If anyone here has ever ridden a horse, they will understand that there are horses that are just plain nasty and cannot be reformed to what people term as a ride-able animal.
They will bite down on your shoulder and throw you over the fence.They will jump up and down and stomp on you.
If they're in the mood, they will even kill you!
Chairmen of Microsoft Corporation, has just come back from Japan, as he wants to incorporate more advanced walking robots, as hospital servants only.
I'm sorry, I do not trust this equation as the Japanese said earlier, that they would like to incorporate these new better bots, into homes, once they had a little feedback.
Anyone can see, that its best to have them in a test home for years, rather than put them right into a precarious hospital enviorment.
Can anyone imagine the legal liabilities of walking robots dropping people or injuring them by crush methods?
Yeah' its there and I'm wandering if Microsoft hasn't gotten too far in bed with certain parts of the government and wants to process us as a product?
The one area they aren't using walking bots in, is for the horse riding industries.
What I've descibed, in the intro post, is pretty much what can and has happened to many a person attempting to ride a big mean nasty horse.
So why no robot proposals in this field?
This is a germane question.

Must be his nose.
