Biomimetic elastomeric robot skin has tactile sensing abilities

Posted by in categories: materials, robotics/AI

A team of researchers at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, working with one colleague from MIT and another from the University of Stuttgart, has developed a biomimetic elastomeric robot skin that has tactile sensing abilities. Their work has been published in the journal Science Robotics.

Roboticists continue to work on improving robot abilities and to make them more human-like. In this new effort, the researchers gave a the ability to detect such sensations as a pat, tickling, wind, or something stroking its surface. They accomplished this by partially imitating .
