Inspired by ‘Star Wars’ and Luke Skywalker’s robotic hand that can seemingly experience touch sensations, Singapore researchers have developed “electronic skin” capable of recreating a sense of touch.
“So humans need to slide to feel texture, but in this case the skin, with just a single touch, is able to detect textures of different roughness,” said research team leader Benjamin Tee, adding that AI algorithms let the device learn quickly.
“When you lose your sense of touch, you essentially become numb... and prosthetic users face that problem,” said Tee. Tee said the concept was inspired by a scene from the “Star Wars” movie trilogy in which the character Luke Skywalker loses his right hand and it is replaced by a robotic one, seemingly able to experience touch sensations again.
