The human neural structure is one of the most complex and amazing system. What if a similar system could be developed artificially.
A team of researchers at RMIT University have developed a prototype of an Electronic Artificial Skin that replicates the way human skin reacts to pain. The device mimics the body's pain response and then reacts with lightning speed similar to that of the nerves in a human body.
Along with the pain-sensing prototype, the research team has also developed devices made with stretchable electronics that can sense and respond to changes in temperature and pressure.
It’s a critical step forward in the future development of the sophisticated feedback systems that open the way to better prosthetics, smarter robotics and non-invasive alternatives to skin grafts.
