Here is an artificial skin with ultra-sensitive sensors that can detect texture, temperature, and pain-like signals. It is made of electrolyzed hydrogel with electrodes embedded around the wrist. Its electrical fields can detect different types of stimulation. This skin not only knows the location of stimulation but the type. The information is transferred to electrodes.
Researchers have created a single-material electronic skin using a gelatin-based conductive hydrogel that senses pressure, heat, and damage.
