Electronic skin enhances robot sensitivity to human-level touch

Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 06, 2024

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed an advanced stretchable electronic skin (e-skin) that could potentially give robots and other devices human-like touch sensitivity. This innovation overcomes the limitations of existing e-skin technologies which lose sensing accuracy when stretched. "Much like human skin has to stretch and bend to accommodate our movements, so
