Its key strengths are that it has simplified the sensor structure and can measure pressure and temperature at the same time. Furthermore, it can be applied on various tactile systems regardless of the measurement principle of the sensor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor Jae Eun Jang\u2019s team in the Department of Information and Communication Engineering has developed electronic skin technology that can detect \u201cprick\u201d and \u201chot\u201d pain sensations like humans.
