Material research

Baymax is actually based on real (and awesome) research out of Carnegie Mellon University. The excitement has apparently inspired some equally real robots to get dressed up in big white inflatable suits.

The lab had mentioned a new flex, skin touch friendly material that possible use for robot in the future. See picture below, I think it will be a idea material  for the toy.
