[ad_1] Electronic skins can already react to touch, but they’re not much good at reacting to the jabs and burns that cause pain. That’s a problem for prosthetics and robots that are supposed to have human-like responses. They may be more sensitive in the future, though. RMIT University researchers have developed an artificial skin (via […]

[ad_1] Researchers in Bristol, UK and Paris, France have developed an artificial, skin-like membrane that mimics human skin not only in appearance, but in its sensing capabilities. Via a hypodermis layer, an electrode layer of conductive threads and a textured surface layer, the membrane is able to “feel” a variety of gestures and interactions, such […]

[ad_1] The antenna proved to be the main challenge. They only had to screen-print metallic ink on a rubber sticker to create the antenna, but its signals could weaken as the body moved. The scientists had to develop a novel RFID system that could reliably send signals despite the constant changes. The receiver itself is […]
