  • Machines with feeling analogues
    Patent number: 12118449
    Abstract: A system includes a housing, sensors, actuators, and a processing device. The housing is formed of material that is soft, flexible, stretchable, deformable, or any combination of thereof. Each sensor is disposed on a surface of the housing, disposed at least partially inside the housing, or positioned spaced apart from the housing, and are configured to generate data associated with physical properties of the housing an environment external to the housing. The processing device is configured to implement a neural network having one or more inputs and one or more outputs. The inputs include the data associated with the physical properties of the housing and the data associated with the environment external to the housing. The outputs are based on the data associated the physical properties of the housing and the data associated with the environment external to the housing.
