Scientists from University College London and the University of Cambridge have developed a new type of electric skin that enables robots to feel touch, temperature changes, and even pain. Made from a soft gelatin-based material, this artificial skin uses a single multi-modal sensor to detect various external stimuli. Although not yet as perfect as human skin, researchers say it's more advanced than any existing technology. The innovation could lead to more sensitive and interactive robots in the future.
Scientists have developed a new type of electric skin, or "e-skin," which they claim will enable robots to sense touch, changes in temperature, and even pain. Researchers from University College London (UCL) and the University of Cambridge are working on the technology.
