Electronic Skin with Pressure Sensing Developed at University of Tokyo
In December 2008, Takao Someya and colleagues at the University of Tokyo published research in Nature Materials describing a flexible electronic skin using carbon nanotube composite films, enabling large-area pressure sensing suitable for robotic tactile feedback and wearable physiological monitoring.
