Many people get into depression as they are lonely but in the future, thanks to German designer Stefan Ulrich you will be able to relieve your loneliness using artificial muscle technology. He has designed a conceptual shape-changing object called Funktionide. For his project, Ulrich conducted research on plastics that change shape when an electric current is applied, called electroactive polymers. He recommends that in the future these materials could allow objects to change shape and surface texture and people will look forward to robots for the illusion of a living presence to keep them emotional happy.
