caregiving robots

In an exciting development from the University of Texas at Austin, researchers are pushing the boundaries of how we interact with machines by making them increasingly life-like. Led by Professor Nanshu Lu, the team has created an electronic skin (e-skin) that replicates the flexibility and sensitivity of human flesh. This breakthrough technology is designed to enhance the abilities of robots, particularly in scenarios requiring gentle care and precision.

The e-skin developed by UT Austin's team is remarkable for its ability to stretch extensively without losing sensory. . .
