Part of a project called Sartorial Robots, which an MIT student starter a couple of years ago, this teensy contraption was designed to close zippers as it travels along their surface. It's obviously not small enough to zip your fly up right now, but it can already work on sleeves, jackets or random patterns of cloth with zippers attached.

I feel like people missing one or both arms would really appreciate this robot now and then.

So am I the only one thinking that if you put a micro device, capable of taking wireless instructions, on a woman's evening dress, that pervs will suddenly discover their hacking abilities?On a serious note, this is pretty cool for those that do have trouble using zippers normally.
