Most of us have a craving and collection of stuffed toys, the main reason for the fetish, these toys look extremely cute. But what if they would also give us cute responses as sometimes is displayed as text on their bodies, those ones which say "Your Friend" or the most common "Hug Me". That wish is about to come true as the researchers from the Tokyo University of Technology have put on show at the Emerging Technologies section, for their "Stuffed Toys Alive!", a kind of interactive toy that would use the string pulley structure, in the toys limbs, some strings are fixed and then those are attached to a motor, which regulates the motion of the toy and also handles the task of responding from the toy's end which would be a result of touch.The working of the interactive stuffed toy is kept as simple as possible and it would prove to bring additional joy to the one who receives it.
