Researchers are developing a robotic fabric that moves and contracts and is embedded with sensors, an approach that could bring "active clothing" and a new class of "soft" robots.<br><br>Such an elastic technology could make possible robots that have sensory skin, stretchable robotic garments that people might wear for added strength and endurance, "g-suits" for pilots or astronauts to counteract the effects of acceleration, and lightweight, versatile robots to roam alien landscapes during space missions.<br><br><a href="http://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/releases/2014/Q3/robotic-fabric-could-bring-active-clothing,-wearable-robots.html">READ MORE ON UNIVERSITY OF PURDUE | NEWS</a><br><br><br>
