New electronic skin can react to pain like human skin – Mirage News

Functional sensing prototypes
As well as the pain-sensing prototype, the research team has also developed devices made with stretchable electronics that can sense and respond to changes in temperature and pressure.
Bhaskaran, co-leader of the Functional Materials and Microsystems group at RMIT, said the three functional prototypes were designed to deliver key features of the skin’s sensing capability in electronic form.
With further development, the stretchable artificial skin could also be a…
