Tactile sensing electronic skin is a key enabling technology for smart robotic grippers and neuroprosthetics. However, traditional electronic skin is still underdeveloped in sensing of slip and force direction. Therefore, this project aims to imitate human skin structure to develop a highly sensitive liquid metal-enabled electronic skin that can achieve high-performance multiple tactile sensation capabilities, including normal-tangential force decoupling and slip detection. The expected outcome will enable future manipulator and prosthetics to detect complex forces for precision manipulation, which will provide benefits to advanced manufacturing and bring significant economic and social benefits.

触觉感应电子皮肤是智能机器人抓手和神经修复术的关键支持技术。然而，传统的电子皮肤在滑动和力方向的传感方面仍然不发达。 因此，该项目旨在模仿人体皮肤结构，开发一种高灵敏度的液态金属电子皮肤，能够实现高性能的多重触觉能力，包括法向切向力解耦和滑动检测。预期成果将使未来的机械手和假肢能够检测复杂的力以进行精确操纵，这将为先进制造业带来好处，并带来显着的经济和社会效益。
