Researchers from Stanford University have developed a wearable electronic skin that can replicate the key mechanisms of human touch, allowing amputees to experience a "human-like sense of touch" through prosthetic devices. Dubbed the monolithic e-skin, the device is embedded with pressure, strain and temperature sensors that can convert electrical signals into nerve-like communication. The development could also lead to increased tactile abilities and object sensing for remotely controlled robotics.
