Elastic E-Skin Enhances Robotic Prosthetic Sensitivity

The work pushes the ball further on sensors and artificial intelligence that improves robotic response to stimuli.

Eskin For Prostheses
University of British Columbia

According to a recent Medgadget article, engineers at the University of British Columbia, in collaboration with Honda, have developed a stretchable e-skin for robotic prostheses. This innovative skin, made of elastomer, is highly sensitive, allowing robotic hands to perform intricate tasks with dexterity and tactile feedback, such as holding fragile objects like eggs or glasses of water. The e-skin contains deformable capacitators that can distinguish between normal and shear forces, enabling precise control in interacting with grasped objects.
