Scientists developed a flexible electronic skin that allows robots to detect gentle touch and pressure similar to human sensation. The skin uses conductive sensors embedded in stretchable materials, enabling robots to sense contact across wide surfaces. Researchers said the technology improves safe human-robot interaction and allows robots to handle delicate objects. The system detects light touch and movement, supporting applications in healthcare, prosthetics, and service robotics. The development marks progress toward creating robots with human-like sensory capabilities and improved responsiveness in real-world environments.
