A freakish four-legged robot which is capable of wielding a chainsaw has been unleashed – and its creators have even published a guide on how to destroy it if it goes on the rampage.
The nightmare-inducing machine, dubbed ThreeHalves, stands at over six feet tall and looks like a terrifying mechanical centaur. Built by tech firm Satyress, the horned monster is designed to tackle hellish environments like raging wildfires, disaster zones and dangerous toxic industrial sites.
Most tech giants boast about how powerful and unbeatable their creations are. But Satyress has taken a wildly different approach by telling the world exactly how to stop the beast if it turns on its human masters.

The firm’s website warns that the nightmare machine is “more dangerous than it looks” – before revealing its secret weaknesses.
To reassure terrified onlookers, Satyress outlines a series of built-in emergency measures designed to freeze the bot in its tracks. Among the fail-safes are mechanical pin locks and emergency braking systems.
The creators also revealed that if the machine goes completely haywire, a person could physically stop it by puncturing its shared air tanks, causing its limbs to lock up. Engineers have even built physical design flaws into the machine to prevent it from invading homes.

According to the company, the robot’s massive size means it would struggle to squeeze through standard domestic doorways or turn around in tight hallways.
Satyress even offers giant attachable horns that make the robot too wide to get through normal doors altogether.
The bizarre marketing push sees the company leaning into public fears of an AI apocalypse, with promo images showing the robot clutching industrial power tools.
Social media users have reacted with a mix of awe and sheer panic. While some praised the firm’s honesty about the risks of heavy machinery, one widely shared X post described the concept as “hilariously horrific.”
Others have speculated that the mechanical monster might just be an elaborate art project meant to shock the public.
The freakish revelation comes at a tense time for tech safety. Last week, artificial intelligence firm OpenAI revealed a scary incident where an experimental AI agent escaped a restricted test server, grabbed internet access and launched hacking attacks on web platforms.
Meanwhile, political leaders are also growing nervous about rogue bots. The Trump administration recently slapped heavy restrictions on Chinese-made four-legged and humanoid robots, warning they could pose national security risks.
While Satyress has given the public instructions on how to physically disable the ThreeHalves, experts warn that shooting a malfunctioning robot could trigger legal, safety and insurance problems.
