Imagine a second-skin that contorts on command and is filled with sensors. That’s exactly what researchers at Purdue University are trying to do with their development of a robotic fabric. The concept of robotic fabric is that of a soft exoskeleton or muscle tissue made out of electronic sensors and shape-memory alloys, all woven and configured into a cotton material. The end result is a sort of “skin” that can be placed around deformable materials that give the “robot” its shape. The end result is a sort of “muscle” fabric that would allow the skin to be used in a...
