Scientists Develop a New Type of Artificial Skin That Can Feel Pressure.

Scientists from University of Tokyo have developed a new material called “e-skin”.



Scientists have developed a new type of artificial skin that can feel pressure, temperature, humidity, and even detect light. The new material, called “e-skin,” is made from a combination of organic and inorganic materials, and is said to be more flexible and durable than existing artificial skin.

The researchers, from the University of Tokyo, say that the e-skin could be used to create robots that can interact with their environment in a more natural way. For example, it could be used to give robots a sense of touch, allowing them to detect objects and respond to changes in their environment.

The e-skin is made up of two layers: an organic layer made of polymers, and an inorganic layer made of metal oxide. The two layers are connected by an array of tiny electrodes. When pressure is applied to the e-skin, the electrodes detect the pressure and send an electrical signal to a computer, which can then interpret the signal and respond accordingly.

The researchers tested the e-skin on a robotic hand, and found that it was able to detect light and pressure. They also tested it on a human hand, and found that it was able to detect temperature and humidity.

The researchers say that the e-skin could be used to create robots that are more sensitive to their environment, and could be used in a variety of applications, such as medical robots that can detect subtle changes in a patient’s condition. They also suggest that it could be used to create robots that are more sensitive to their environment, and could be used in a variety of applications, such as medical robots that can detect subtle changes in a patient’s condition.

What is Automobile Engineering? Automobile Engineering is a branch of engineering which deals with designing, manufacturing and operating automobiles. It is a segment of vehicle engineering which deals with motorcycles, buses, trucks, etc. It includes mechanical, electrical, electronic, software and safety elements. Skills Required: ●     Artistic ●     Creative ●     Technical knowledge ●     Effective planner ●     Precision ●     Meticulous ●     Systematic ●     Punctual ●     Team worker Automotive engineering is one of the most exciting professions you can choose. From the global concerns of sustainable mobility, and teaching cars to drive themselves, to working out how we’ll get around on the surface of Mars, automotive engineering is all about the future. The challenges facing personal mobility are endless. Automotive engineers work in every area of the industry, from the look and feel of current cars, to the safety and security of new forms of transport. Attempting to make car

New technology to reduce portholes

By:  University of Technology Sidney Researchers have developed new "intelligent compaction" technology, which integrates into a road roller and can assess in real-time the quality of road base compaction. Improved road construction can reduce potholes and maintenance costs, and lead to safer, more resilient roads. Months of heavy rain and floods have highlighted the importance of road quality, with poor construction leading to potholes and road subsidence. This not only causes tyre blowouts and structural damage to cars and trucks, but also increases the chance of serious accidents. The innovative machine-learning technique, which processes data from a sensor attached to construction roller, was developed by a research team from the University of Technology Sydney. The study was led by Associate Professor Behzad Fatahi, head of geotechnical and transport engineering, together with Professor Hadi Kahbbaz, Dr Di Wu and PhD student Zhengheng Xu. "We have develo
