JONATHAN Tippett, who hails from Vancouver, spent more than a decade designing a giant, fourlegged robot named Prosthesis.

Tippett has been awarded a Guinness World Record for building the robot, which is the worldu2019s largest tetrapod exoskeleton. It stands tall at 16 feet and 18 inches long, and weighs 1,600kg. A pilot is required to operate the machine.

Chromoly steel tubing, often used for aerospace and racing vehicles, was used to construct Prosthesis.

Tippett spent over 10 years designing the exoskeleton and less than a year working on the final design.

Prosthesis has been designed with the purpose of using it for racing. This new sport aims to pit pilot against pilot in all electric, high- powered, and off- road running machines that rely solely on the expertise and training of the people inside them to move. Tipett hopes to continue to develop the technology and build the novel sport of mech racing.

It is to be slapped on to oneu2019s arm much like a nicotine patch. u201c Our sense of smell is strongly connected to our ability to taste, therefore, experiencing food- related cues such as smelling bacon aroma, can lead us to imagine the act of eating that food. Imagine eating enough bacon and you might find yourself sated,u201d Spence said.
