ROBOTIC SKINS APPLCATIONS IN FUTURE

 “Future astronauts
ROBOTIC skins are made from elastic sheets embedded exploring another
with sensors and actuators developed in Kramer-Bottiglio's
lab.
planet could quickly
Placed on a deformable object -- a stuffed animal or a construct a robot
foam tube, for instance -- the skins animate these objects
from their surfaces.
using the robotic skins
The makeshift robots can perform different tasks wrapped around
depending on the properties of the soft objects and how
the skins are applied. We can take the skins and wrap whatever deformable
them around one object to perform a task -- locomotion, materials they have
for example -- and then take them off and put them on a
different object to perform a different task, such as access to and stick a
grasping and moving an object, We can then take those camera on it, and then
same skins off that object and put them
on a shirt to make an active wearable device. deploy the robot for
exploration of small or
dangerous spaces.”
In one of the
demonstrations,
omniskins are
introduced in which a
skin is wrapped
around each of the
four legs of a stuffed
animal horse-kind of
like pants-and make it

INVENTORS
 In tests in the lab, Kramer-Bottiglio and her team wrapped the skin around the
legs of a stuffed animal, and the toy horse moved forward in an awkward
manner. A foam tube wrapped with a skin was able to inch forward like a
worm. And a piece of skin connecting two pieces of cardboard could contract,
turning the object into a rudimentary gripper.
