Newly Developed Robotic Hand has the Ability to Heal itself like Human Skin
According to the researchers at the National University of Singapore, this enables the spongy material to merge e easily into one piece when cut. The lead researcher Benjamin Tee said, In order to replace the human sense of touch, the researchers filled the material with microscopic metal particles and also infused tiny electrodes underneath the surface of the foam. Consequently, when pressure is exerted, the metal particles come close to each other within the polymer matrix, changing their electrical properties. Furthermore, these changes can be detected by the electrodes which is connected to a computer, which then guides the robot. Benjamin further said, This feature enables the robotic arm to detect not only the amount but also the direction of applied force, thus making robots more intelligent and interactive. Tee further told that the AiFoam is the first of its kind to merge both self-healing properties and proximity and pressure sensing. Check out?
