e-skin

Smart foam for smart robots

New creation could give machines human-like sense of touch to better judge human intentions and respond to changes in the environment

A pen-and-ink system for drawing flexible circuits

Scientists report that they have developed conductive inks that allows users to "write" circuits almost anywhere — even on human skin.

Ultra-thin sensitive strain sensors

Researchers have developed a new range of nanomaterial strain sensors that are 10 times more sensitive when measuring minute movements, compared to existing technology.

E-skin has a strong future stretching ahead

A material that mimics human skin in strength, stretchability and sensitivity could be used to collect biological data in real time.

More skin-like, e-skin that can feel

Researchers developed a multimodal ion-electronic skin that distinguishes temperature from mechanical stimuli.

E-skin: recyclable alternative to wearables?

A wearable electronic device that’s 'really wearable” - a stretchy and fully-recyclable circuit board - can heal itself, much like real skin.

A flexible and highly reliable sensor

A novel e-skin, called TRACE, performs five times better than conventional soft materials. It is suitable for measuring blood flow for pulse diagnosis and helping robots to 'feel' the texture of surfaces.

E-skin: Engineers imitate hands to make better sensors

Researchers have developed “electronic skin” sensors capable of mimicking the dynamic process of human motion.

Rubbery semiconductor for medical robotic hands

Researchers have designed and produced a smart electronic skin and a medical robotic hand capable of assessing vital diagnostic data.

Electronic skin reacts to pain like human skin

Researchers have developed electronic artificial skin that reacts to pain just like real skin, opening the way to better prosthetics, smarter robotics and non-invasive alternatives to skin grafts.

A deep learning e-skin decodes complex human motion

A deep learning powered single-strained electronic skin sensor can capture human motion from a distance.

Integrate micro chips for electronic skin

First fully integrated flexible electronics made of magnetic sensors and organic circuits opens the path towards the development of electronic skin.

3D printing helps form wearable sensor

Researchers have developed a highly sensitive wearable pressure sensor for health monitoring applications and early diagnosis of diseases.

Electronic skin: Intuitive in the virtual reality

Scientists have developed the first electronic sensor that can simultaneously process both touchless and tactile stimuli.

Exceptional sensitive e-skin for prosthetics

Researchers have developed an e-skin that may soon have a sense of touch equivalent to, or better than, the human skin with the Asynchronous Coded Electronic Skin (ACES).

Smart textiles boost connectivity between wearable sensors

Researchers have invented a completely new way for wearable devices to interconnect which enable easier health monitoring, medical interventions and human–machine interfaces.

Ultra-light gloves let users “touch” virtual objects

Scientists have developed an ultra-light glove that enables users to feel and manipulate virtual objects. Their system provides extremely realistic haptic feedback and could run on a battery, allowing for unparalleled freedom of movement.

Spray coated tactile sensor for robots and prosthetics

Robots will be able to conduct a wide variety of tasks as well as humans if they can be given tactile sensing capabilities.

AI and IoMT spur healthcare industry growth

AI, Big Data, wearables and sensor technologies are driving the growth of smart hospitals and assisting with the home healthcare sector.

“E-skin” could equip prosthetics with feeling

Researchers have created a smart skin that will give robots ultra-sensitive skin with more tactile feeling than humans.

Are “e-whiskers” the touchstone for the future of “e-skin”?

Resеarchers have created аrtificial "e-whiskers" which mimic thе prоpеrties of thе reаl thing.

“E-Dermis” gives sense of touch to fingertips of prosthetic hands

Electronic ‘skin’ will enable amputees to perceive through prosthetic fingertips.
