Artificial Nerves Sensitive as Human Skin

Jun-09-18 An artificial nerve system sensitive enough to read Braille could pave the way to touch-sensitive prosthetics.

Developed by teams from Stanford and Seoul National University, the artificial nerve system is made up of flexible, organic electronics able to detect minute pressures. The system features three integrated components: an ultra-sensitive touch sensor, a flexible electronic neuron that receives the touch information, and a synaptic translator inspired by the human synapses. The collection of components communicate to detect the slightest pressure with a sensitivity as acute as human skin.
