or robot-like skin for humans. The study appeared July 24 in the journal Nature. There are other flexible electronic devices out there, but this is by far the thinnest and most bendable.

By using leaf skeletons as templates, researchers harnessed nature's intrinsic hierarchical fractal structures to improve the ...

Research on the flexible hybrid epidermal electronic system (FHEES) has attracted considerable attention due to its potential ...

Robots have integrated in our lives in different ways and have taken over some tasks which were exclusively done by humans. But, robots have not yet been able to have a sense of touch - could this ...

Electronic skin refers to flexible, stretchable electronics that mimic the sensing capabilities of human skin. It comprises an array of sensors embedded in a substrate that can detect various stimuli, ...

In a paper published in the journal Nano-Micro Letters, researchers presented a multimodal electronic skin (e-skin) integrated with artificial intelligence (AI) designed to enhance rescue robots ...

Electronic skin, a highly flexible, stretchable, and thin material that mimics human skin's functions, is transforming the way we interact with devices and improving the efficiency of healthcare ...

In summary, they can 3D print a robot with a rubber skin of arbitrarily varying stiffness ... to the Objet’s existing ability to mix flexible resins together to produce different Shore ratings.
