After the creation of electronic skin, robots can now feel touch

Scientists have developed electronic skin, which could lead to the development of soft, flexible robot devices that can assist in surgical procedures or improve people’s mobility.

Researchers in Edinburgh have created e-skin that is stretchable, giving soft robots a physical awareness similar to humans and animals.

Experts say that the technology could help to make breakthroughs in soft robots, by allowing devices to detect their movements precisely in even the most sensitive environments.
