Giving robots the sense of touch with real-time e-skin feedback

Step into the world of advanced robotics with Touchlab’s groundbreaking e-skin technology. This interactive demo showcases how our ultra-thin tactile sensors enable robots to sense and respond to touch in real time, just like human skin. Watch as an operator controls a robotic hand equipped with e-skin sensors, performing precise movements and interacting with objects. Every touch, pressure, and force applied to the robotic hand is instantly visualized on a screen, allowing you to see how the robot perceives touch with incredible accuracy. Unlike traditional robots, which rely solely on vision and predefined movements, e-skin technology enables real-time force feedback and directional sensing, making robots more dexterous, intuitive, and safer for human collaboration. This breakthrough has applications in teleoperation, medical robotics, industrial automation, and beyond.
