When you think of robotics, you likely think of something rigid, heavy, and built for a specific purpose. New “Robotic Skins” technology developed by Yale researchers flips that notion on its head, allowing users to animate the inanimate and turn everyday objects into robots.
Developed in the lab of Rebecca Kramer-Bottiglio, assistant professor of mechanical engineering & materials science, robotic skins enable users to design their own robotic systems. Although the skins are designed with no specific task in mind, Kramer-Bottiglio said, they could be used for everything from search-and-rescue robots to wearable technologies. The results of the team’s work are published today in Science Robotics.
You could rent some quadriplegic people, dress them in these “robotic skins” then use them as full-size puppets.
why are you like this
Like what?
An engineer?
A dreamer?
A man of great imagination?
Is this what you people wanted? Because this is what you asked for. He’s given up trying to explain that was taken out of context, and only now, are you beginning to realize the magnitude of your sins.
If PDA isn’t allowed in an LGBT safe space, it isn’t a safe space.
Apparently, anywhere that’s safe for children isn’t “an LGBT safe space”.
Have some consideration for others.
@thecybersmith I’m sorry, are you saying LGBT people aren’t…safe for children?
I’m saying that PDA isn’t suitable around children.
Innocence is precious and should be preserved.
i guess my (straight) parentes are abusive for…. kissing sometimes?
or does this just apply to gay people?
Do your (straight) parents kiss in the presence of children?
If so, they should probably stop that.
?? Dude what kind of example do you think parents should set for kids if you think that they should never show physical affection for each other? Kids who grow up with emotionally/physically distant parents are predisposed to fall into patterns of abusive relationships later on in life. Children seeing their parents kiss and show signs of affection for each other is not only appropriate, but also fundamental for their growth as it provides them with a healthy understanding of what love and loyalty is supposed to look like. Emotionally cold and distant parents are known to elicit anxiety and depression in children, which can later be detrimental to their ability to form lasting, mature relationships in their adult lives.
Do you ever fucking think before you speak? Or do you open your mouth and just let the monkey brain come out?
Parents should be courteous, reserved, modest people, who only express affection in private.
Thus their children will grow to be courteous, reserved, modest people, who only express affection in private.
i really don’t think you’re in any position to say dictate the traits of people who raise the next generation of kids, my guy…
Why are any of y’all so surprised @thecybersmith‘s parents didn’t give him enough affection as a child? That’s what governesses are for.
