Pain-Sensing Artificial Skin Reacts to Pressure and Temperature – Interesting Engineering
In the hierarchy of senses, the sense of touch holds a vital place. The near-instantaneous impulses of the peripheral nervous system make sure that we do not stand in harm’s way. This can help sensorily less-abled.
We don’t give much thought to it, but in the hierarchy of senses, the sense of touch holds a vital place. The near-instantaneous impulses of the peripheral nervous system make sure that we do not stand in harm’s way, and even keep us from harming ourselves.
So, in an effort to make life easier for the sensorily less-abled, a team of researchers at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) developed an artificial electronic skin that reacts to pain much like the real deal. This paves t…
