Korean researchers have secured flexible electronic skin technology that can be fabricated directly in the field. This achievement has increased the feasibility of commercializing electronic skin for use in various fields, including robots and wearable devices.

In collaboration with the research team of Professor Ahn Jun Seong from the Department of Control and Instrumentation Engineering at Korea University’s Sejong Campus, the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) has developed an in-situ process-based electronic skin fabrication technology capable of producing large-area multimodal sensors without a clean room, a dedicated semiconductor processing facility.

The research is published in npj Flexible Electronics.
