World’s first 3D e-skin gives robots human-like touching sense | This electronic skin from China can decode pressure, friction, and strain in real time
Scientists have developed a 3D electronic skin capable of mimicking human touch, paving the way for advancements in healthcare and robotics.
A brainchild of Professor Zhang Yihui from Tsinghua University, the electronic skin is capable of decoding and sensing three mechanical signals: pressure, friction, and strain. “In the future, it can be installed on the fingertips of medical robots for early diagnosis and treatment, and can also be applied like a band-aid to human skin to monitor health data such as blood oxygen and heart rate in real-time,” he explained. The electronic skin “has a lot of tactile receptor cells that are densely arranged and have a three-dimensional spatial distribution, which can accurately perceive external stimuli,” he further added.
