Students at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, are working on a real-life version of TARS from Interstellar. This is a smaller version of TARS and it doesn’t move quite as well as the movie version, but given enough time these students can probably get it working even better. They did a fantastic job on this robot. This is a hard one to recreate.

The TARS robot from Interstellar was one of the highlights of the film for me. I just like cool robots. We featured a cool cosplay of TARS awhile back. Now check out this custom LEGO version of the robot.
It is made from 120 LEGO pieces and is fully pose-able in many positions. This would look great on the shelf. Looks like all of the details are just right.
I’m still not quite sure what to think about TARS and CASE from the movie Interstellar. They were weird. Pretty cool, but weird. They did prove to be very versatile and they are certainly unique. You may not be aware, but they weren’t completely CGI. Sometime puppets were used in certain scenes. This gave cosplayer Iain Heath an excellent idea.
He made his own TARS costume and wore it to the Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle awhile back. I have to say, it looks amazing. It took him 3 months to build it, using wood and metal. The basic frame is simple and effective. There is also a camera and monitor inside, because naturally he needed to see where he was going, so he didn’t run over some poor soul. And yes those are LCD screens on the front. This is some extremely unique and quality cosplay.
