Chinese scientists have developed a new type of electronic skin to enable robots to navigate between objects around them in the dark through a sense of touch when vision is limited.
The Chinese news agency Xinhua reported that a team of researchers from Southeast China University has developed this new electronic skin based on natural silk, a protein material.
She added that the electronic skin is characterized by being soft, made of a gelatinous material, and has a ribbon-like appearance that simulates the characteristics of human skin, and contains all the physical and chemical properties similar to the desired skin, such as its ability to stretch, its ability to self-heal, weak acidity, and antibacterial activities, and it also feels temperature and pressure. and humidity in the surrounding conditions once it is turned on.
The findings, published in the journal ACS Nano, indicate that skin grafts can be made easily by attaching a new piece to the scratched piece.
