Stretchable electronic skin for robots developed by UT researchers

AUSTIN (KXAN) — A first-ever stretchable electronic skin was developed by researchers at the University of Texas at Austin.
According to UT, the skin could give robots the same softness and touch sensitivity that humans have.
In a press release, the university said existing e-skin technology loses sensing accuracy as the material stretches.
"Much like human skin has to stretch and bend to accommodate our movements, so too does e-skin," said Nanshu Lu, a professor in the Cockrell School of
