In this video, we discuss the papers “Design and Fabrication of Soft Artificial Skin Using Embedded Microchannels and Liquid Conductors” by YongLae Park, BorRong Chen, and Robert J. Wood, 2012 and "Stretchable Capacitive Sensors of Torsion, Strain, and Touch Using Double Helix Liquid Metal Fibers" by C. B. Cooper, K. Artuselvan, Y. Liu et al., 2017

Can we build robots with a sense of touch? Can we wrap robots in skin as stretchable and flexible as a human’s, to protect their innards? In this video, we investigate a technique to embed haptic sensors into artificial skin in a way that allows it to detect pressure, while maintaining its flexibility. In this paper, we review the use of liquid conductors embedded in robot skin to use as haptic sensors.


Note: We are reviewing this paper, and we were not part of the research or the team which authored this paper.
