The 'robo-skin' that can bring toys to life and turn anything into a robot

A Yale researcher has created a'robo-skin' that could bring toys to life. Called'OmniSkin,' the flexible elastic can be fitted to stuffed toys and a variety of inanimate objects and, thanks to sensors and actuators, enable them to move. The robot'skin' can be programmed to turn almost any object into a robot, depending on how the elastic sheets are applied, or how many are applied at a time. Yale roboticists created'robo-skin' that can be affixed to almost any object. The robo-skin is made out of flexible, elastic sheets.
