You just gotta know what these TODAI guys really want to invent...
Flexible sensors make robot skin
September 22/29, 2004 By Eric Smalley, Technology Research NewsSkin is very useful. In addition to neatly separating self from other, it provides all kinds of feedback.
Researchers from the University of Tokyo have devised pressure-sensor arrays that promise to give objects like rugs and robots the equivalent of one aspect of skin -- pressure sensitivity.
The researchers' pressure sensor arrays are built from inexpensive organic, or plastic, transistors on a flexible material. This allows for dense arrays that can be used over large areas.

No more lying at the DMV about your weight once they install these in the floors as a security device. "Sure you weigh 115lbs Miss, we'll just assume the pocketbook you're carrying is about 40lbs then?"

On the plus side, my cyborg-body gets closer to completetion every year. I figure by the time I am ready to go full-bot, they'll be able to do it! Now then, when do you think I should start applying to Section 9?

Hey, I've had my application in for years now.

It's not the colour you ordered but we have one in stock now if you want it ...



Of course, if you don't mind being referred to as "short-ass",
and dancing even more gaily than you do now, there's another one out the back ...


It's the one on the left.
The one on the right (a prototype) requires some further ... testing, by me.

Good luck to both of you, but just remember, if you do get in, your commanding officer, Major Kusanagi can be a serious hard ass.
