Electronic skin recovery amputee tactile to create terminator robot

Recently, scientists have recently developed a pressure-sensitive electronic skin that can be used to restore the sensitive touch of amputated patients in the future.
According to the British Daily Mail, scientists have recently developed a pressure-sensitive electronic skin that can be used to restore the sensitive touch of amputated patients in the future, and can make the robot have a sensitive touch like humans in the science fiction film Terminator.
This new material is called "electronic skin" and is a semiconductor nanowire made of silicon. Nanowires are a very slim structure with a diameter of one ten thousandth of human hair. At the same time, tactile-sensing artificial skin can also be applied to robot manufacturing, enabling robots to handle various types of objects sensitively. The ultimate goal of the researchers was to use electronic skin to regain the near real touch of those amputated patients with prostheses.
Scientists at the University of California, Beckley, printed nanowires on a 7 cm, 18 x 19 pixel rectangular die, each containing a transistor made up of hundreds of nanowire semiconductors. The nanowire transistor is then combined with pressure sensitive rubber to detect tactile pressure.
After more than 2,000 bending tests, the scientists found that rectangular dies remained below 5 volts. This electronic skin can sense a pressure of 0-15 kPa, which is equivalent to the effect of typing on the keyboard.
The head of the research team that developed the electronic skin is Ali Javey of the University of California at Beckley. He said: "The newly developed electronic skin is very similar to human real skin. Its advent means that prosthetics will be installed in the future. The amputation patients will have more living space, and at the same time, robot manufacturing technology will also achieve breakthrough development." This latest research on electronic skin is published in the September 12 issue of "Natural Materials" magazine.
At the same time, scientists at Stanford University in the United States have recently developed an electronic sensor that sensitively senses the slight tactile behavior of a butterfly falling on the hand. This sensor can be used on prosthetic electronic skin, robots, touch screens and car safety devices. Its sensitivity can also be widely applied to include: robotic surgery in the field of internal medicine.
