<\/div>Have you ever seen a bright red lion statue reading out poems generated by a machine learning algorithm? We hadn’t, either — until this week. Perhaps researchers from Yale University can wrap it in their newly-developed “robotic skin” to allow it to pounce on unsuspecting passers-by. Have absolutely no idea what we’re talking about? Read on to get the picture.<\/p>
