South Korean researchers from the KAIST Research University have developed e-skin that allows a robot to differentiate strain and pressure like human skin can. The spray-on coating allows for wearable electronics to be added to surfaces such as on a prosthetic device due to properties that allow the e-skin to be uniformly deposited. It also allows the wearable electronics to "distinguish mechanical stimuli analogous to human skin."
Professor Park said, "Our electronic skin can be mass produced at a low cost and can easily be coated onto complex 3-dimensional surfaces. It is a key technology that can bring us closer to the commercialization of electronic skin for various applications in the near future."
