Robust microfluidic tactile sensor skin for robotic applications
Prosthetics have been around for thousands of years as evidenced by carved wooden toes found on mummified remains of ancient Egyptians. Since that early age, enormous advances in technology have made extremely sophisticated prosthetics possible. Through advanced robotics, artificial limbs that can nearly perfectly mimic the mechanics of human limbs...
