The University of Tokyo’s Institute of Industrial Science has created an electronic artificial skin material that can be flexed and contoured into shape. The “skin” has sensors built in, which can transmit sensory information to a robot brain, including pressure-sensitive data. It’s reportedly going to be useful for robot nurses and electronic friends for children. I guess people don’t like human nurses and playmates.
Is it me or does that hand look like C3P0’s hand?
