E-Skin for Prosthetics Senses Temperature and Pressure at 10x Resolution

Researchers at Washington State University (WSU) have developed an electronic skin that can sense temperature and pressure, potentially helping amputees regain a sense of touch through their prosthetics. A study published in Cell Reports Physical Science found that this technology can detect stimuli at a resolution 10 times finer than that of current commercial glove sensors. “This approach democratizes the production of medical-grade e-skins, m…

Researchers develop custom electronic skin for advanced prosthetic sensing

An electronic skin with a sensing system that can detect pressure and temperature could someday be used to help amputees gain feeling in their prosthetics.

Researchers develop electronic skin for prosthetics to sense temperature and pressure

PULLMAN, WA – An electronic skin with a sensing system that can detect pressure and temperature could someday be used to help amputees gain feeling in their prosthetics. The work led by Washington State University researchers and published in the journal Cell Reports Physical Science, can sense at ten times a finer scale than current commercial glove sensors. “This approach democratizes the production of medical-grade e-skins, making advanced ta…
