Robot skin that senses touch and pain — and triggers instant reflexes — makes robots more like humans. It probably also makes ...

Humanoid robots are starting to gain something that once belonged firmly in the realm of science fiction: a sense of pain.

If you accidentally put your hand on a hot object, you'll naturally pull it away fast, before you have to think about it.

Human skin transmits sensory information as electrical pulses, or spikes, that encode signals related to pressure and pain. NRE-skin mimics this biological process by converting pressure ...
