The
Blanket Project is a robot shaped like a blanket that resides on top
of a bed. It is composed of a mechanical grid that is wrapped in soft
foam and covered by a duvet cover. Wave-like patterns are
electronically generated, propelling it any direction along the
surface a bed. These patterns can be invoked automatically, such that
the robot acts autonomously, or by remote control, allowing a person
to control the blanket. In the latter case, the blanket can be made
to interact with human participants who share the bed, crawling on
top of them and providing full body stimulation.
