areut rebecca and her team looking at making a different kind of robot. one that you can wear. >> our bodies are soft. it makes sense to me to try to put robots into our clothing. researchers have been working with exoskeletons for a very ofg time, but they are made clunky materials. x this might be in the far future. but i think of exoskeletons that wel be more light weight and will not even know that we are wearing them. >> in the simplest definition of the word, a robot consists of two parts. actuators is one of them. >> our sensors are much further along than actuators. >> it turns out that making those robots out of soft parts are more difficult than it looks. cannot be ignored. depending upon materials, the robot will act different ways. material aref being looked at. made from metal that can be programmed to remember its shape. >> right now you can get them as wired. we use a sewing machine to incorporate them into the fabric. >> what you are seeing is that shape memory alloy sewed into a cloth. when you apply a current to the wires, it causes it t
