Food-safe, washable, thermally-conductive robot cover

This invention describes a flexible cover for automated robots, made from multiple elastic sheets joined together in a specific pattern. This design allows the cover to stretch and shrink as the robot moves through its full range of motion, protecting at least one of its joints. A specific version of the cover includes a soft, pliable material placed between the robot and the elastic sheets, which helps to keep the cover slightly expanded away from the robot's surface and reduces tight pressure.
