The Hoff might never have been able to seal the deal with Pam Anderson, but Emily, short for Emergency Integrated Lifesaving Lanyard, just couldn’t resist. Literally, it’s physically unable to resist. Robosexuality aside, Emily is good for more than satisfying entries on your bucket list (consider getting to third base with a tubular robot crossed off my to-dos).
The four-foot long robotic buoy is capable of zipping out to floundering swimmers in need of a helping robotic hand at a speed of 25 miles per hour, much faster than any human lifeguard is capable of. Emily also offers 80 lbs of buoyancy, enough for four normal sized people or one really really large person.
