University of Texas researchers create first stretchable e-skin, improving touch sensitivity in robots.

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin created a stretchable e-skin, the first of its kind, that could give robots human-like touch sensitivity. This solves a significant problem in existing e-skin technology, which loses sensing accuracy as it stretches. The new material maintains constant pressure response regardless of how much it stretches, offering new possibilities for precise tasks requiring force control.
