Imagine a future where your household robot not only tidies up your home, but also takes care of delicate tasks such as washing fragile glasses or setting the table without dropping anything. To accomplish such tasks, a robot needs an advanced sense of touch, capable of detecting and adapting to different forces, just like human skin. This is where a new type of electronic skin comes in, recently developed by LIRMM researchers.
