New I-Skin forms healing bruises
Researchers have developed an artificial skin that sense force through ionic signals. This allows it to change colour from yellow to bruise-like purple and represents visual damage. This medical innovation will help us protect robots from damaging themselves through injury
Scientists have given robots a ‘brain’ so they can self-repair when they detect pain
Using artificial intelligence (AI), scientists at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, have developed a way for robots to recognise pain and to self-repair when damaged. The scientists adopted a brain-inspired approach when creating the system and as a result, the robot
Researchers have developed an ‘electronic skin’ that can process information faster than the human nervous system
Inspired by Star Wars, a team of researchers from the National University of Singapore has developed an ‘electronic skin’ that gives amputees with prosthetics the ability to ‘touch’. The artificial skin uses more than 100 small sensors and is about 1
