In the future, pants could be made from artificial muscles that can help disabled people walk again. An article in The Guardian reported on the debut of such a pair of smart trousers, which was recently presented at a U.K. science fair.
The smart pants were designed by British researchers who got the idea from the short film The Wrong Trousers. In that movie, the titular robotic trousers get the protagonists into serious trouble because the villain is controlling it remotely.
The wearable electronics will not be able to walk on their own like the one in the Wallace and Gromit movie. It will also not be capable of being remotely controlled by a supervillain.
