In the future, the e-skin could be the basis for a more advanced electronic skin which enables robots capable of exploring and interacting with the world in multiple new ways. This might soon be possible as researchers create e-skin capable of feeling pain.
Touch-sensitive robotics with artificial skin have been a goal of researchers for decades. In order to decrease latency and power consumption, the Glasgow University team's new type of electronic skin (e-skin) is inspired by how the h...
