Touch is a complex sensing modality owing to large number of receptors (mechano, thermal,
pain) nonuniformly embedded in the soft skin all over the body. These receptors can gather …

Soft robotics as a field of study incorporates different mechanisms, control schemes, as well
as multifunctional materials to realize robots able to perform tasks inaccessible to traditional …

Abstract Electronic‐skin (E‐skin) has been investigated extensively for robotic tactile
sensing. However, E‐skin sensors based on flexible metamaterials are still challenging to …

Soft sensors have continued growing interest in robotics, due to their ability to enable both
passive conformal contact from the material properties and active contact data from the …

Abstract Purpose of Review Soft electronic skins (E-skins) capable of tactile pressure
sensing have the potential to endow robotic systems with many of the same somatosensory …

Soft polymers embedded with liquid metals like eutectic gallium-indium (EGaIn) exhibit
unique combinations of mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties that are not possible …

Tactile feedback is essential to make robots more agile and effective in unstructured
environments. However, high-resolution tactile skins are not widely available; this is due to …

The emerging applications of collaborative robots (cobots) are spilling out from product
manufactories to service industries for human care, such as patient care for combating the …

Typically, the fingertips of a dexterous robotic hand are designed to be rigid and equipped
with a variety of sensors to provide tactile perception. However, this design scheme renders …

Robots equipped with bionic skins for enhancing the robot perception capability are
increasingly deployed in wide applications ranging from healthcare to industry. Artificial …
