Its not a stretch to say that stretchable sensors could change the way soft robots function and feel. In fact, they will be able to feel quite a lot.
Cornell researchers have created a fiber-optic sensor that combines low-cost LEDs and dyes, resulting in a stretchable skin that detects deformations such as pressure, bending and strain. This sensor could give soft robotic systems and anyone using augmented reality technology the ability to feel the same rich, tactile sensations that mammals depend…
