Brainy Skin Could Lead to Touch-Sensitive Robots

Brainy Skin Could Lead to Touch-Sensitive Robots
Jul-03-18
A synthetic ‘brainy skin’ could help give robots and prosthetics a sense of touch.

Developed by a team from Glasgow University, the extremely flexible neuPRINTSKIN (Neuromorphic Printed Tactile Skin) is inspired by real skin and based on earlier research into silicon-based printed neural transistors and graphene. According to the team, the addition of a neural layer beneath tactile skin will provide a “significant new perspective to the e-skin research” and have a significant impact on many aspects of robotics and electronics.
