Stuffed animals used to be inanimate toys that can only get moved by the humans; but now they can successfully move on their own, with the aid of the Pinoky—a small, ring-like device that wirelessly brings stuffed animals to “life”. It uses a micro controller, a Zigbee input device and a servo motor system to move an animal’s hands and legs, also with a set of photo sensors designed to measure the angle at which it bends.
