New Gel-Based Robotic Skin Feels Touch, Heat, and Damage Like Human Flesh

Scientists have created a groundbreaking gelatin-based robotic skin capable of sensing touch, heat, and physical damage like cuts or burns. Developed by a team including Dr. Thomas George Thuruthel from University College London, the skin uses a single conductive layer embedded with electrodes to detect and classify stimuli. It was tested through pokes, burns, and sli...
