Some day, robots will look so much like humans that distinguishing between them and us will be difficult. They will also have artificial skin that looks and functions like human skin and can sense the ...

Until now, artificial gels have either managed to replicate high stiffness or natural skin's self-healing properties, but not both. Now, a team of researchers has developed a hydrogel with a unique ...

This phone cover might give some people the heebie-jeebies. It's made from artificial skin and it's not the only one. Researchers say they have also developed faux skin prototypes for other devices.

In a world increasingly driven by technological advancements, the lines between human sensation and robotic capability are blurring. Enter neuromorphic ...

Robots are starting to gain something that looks a lot like a sense of touch, and in some cases even a crude version of pain. New neuromorphic artificial skin lets machines process tactile information ...

Researchers are developing a new hydrogel-based material that makes it possible to engineer artificial skin tissues, which can serve as living three-dimensional models of human skin for better ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Most robots today are effectively numb. They can't feel what they touch, making it dangerous for them to handle delicate objects or work closely with humans. Adding touch ...

The takeaway: Researchers in China have developed an artificial skin that allows robots to sense pressure and respond in ways similar to living tissue, helping them avoid damage. The flexible ...

A Chinese robotics startup has launched what it calls the world’s first biomimetic AI robot. The robot, named Moya, was ...

Empa researchers are working together with clinical partners on a model of human skin. The model will allow scientists to simulate skin diseases and thus better understand them. The skin is the ...
