The research comes from the Technical University of Munich, and demonstrates how sensitive synthetic skin can assist robots with sensing their own bodies and surroundings. This is considered vital if ...

Robots are getting better at seeing, hearing, and moving, but touch has always been the missing piece. At CES 2026, Ensuring Technology showcased a new kind of artificial skin that could finally give ...

A new synthetic “skin” gives robots the human touch. The low-cost, durable and highly-sensitive material can be added to robotic hands just like a glove, say scientists. It enables automatons to ...

Embodied AI changes that arrangement entirely. It gives the machine a body, and with it, consequences. The architecture is ...

A study conducted by researchers at City University of Hong Kong reveals how they were able to give robots active pain and injury perception with a new electronic skin. While robots can't actually ...

Taking a cue from ocean-dwelling species, University of Nebraska–Lincoln researchers are developing synthetic skins that will support the emergence of next-generation "soft" machines, robots and other ...

The new “skin,” fashioned at the National Natural Science Foundation of China, is self-powered and transparent. The smart skin is also fairly simple to manufacture less expensive than other types in ...

Information from sensors is transmitted using neural-style activity spikes. I haven't finished the paper yet, but to my surprise, I...don't hate it at all. At least initially, this work actually seems ...
