Stretchable e-skin could give robots human-level touch sensitivity

A first-ever stretchy electronic skin could equip robots and other devices with the same softness and touch sensitivity as human skin, opening up new possibilities to perform tasks that require a great deal of precision and control of force.

I could think of a few um… tasks that require great sensitivity.

A place to discuss the ideas, developments, and technology that can and will shape the future of civilization.

Tenets:

(1) Concepts are often better treated in isolation – eg: “what if energy became near zero cost?”
(2) Consider the law of unintended consequences – eg: “if this happens, then these other systems fail”
(3) Pseudoscience and speculative physics are not welcome. Keep it grounded in reality.
(4) We are here to explore the parameter spaces of the future – these includes political system changes that advances may trigger. Keep political discussions abstract and not about current affairs.
(5) No pumping of vapourware – eg: battery tech announcements.
