电子皮肤,让机器人有了双“灵巧手”

Core Viewpoint - The development of flexible tactile sensing electronic skin is crucial for humanoid robots to achieve human-like dexterity and sensitivity, enabling them to handle delicate objects with precision [1][2]. Group 1: Technology Development - Wuhan Huawai Technology Co., Ltd. has developed flexible tactile sensing electronic skin that enhances the dexterity of robotic hands, allowing them to sense and adapt to the weight and fragility of various objects [1][2]. - The electronic skin features over 1,000 sensing points on the hand, with an average of nearly 100 tactile points per square centimeter, creating a high-density perception network similar to human nerve endings [2][3]. - The electronic skin has passed rigorous testing, including a million-cycle pressure test and temperature resistance from -20°C to 60°C, ensuring long-term reliability for humanoid robots [2]. Group 2: Applications in Various Industries - The technology has been integrated into over a thousand humanoid robots, with more than half of the companies in the dexterous hand sector in China utilizing this technology [3]. - The flexible sensing technology has also been applied in the development of smart vehicles, enhancing their intelligence, comfort, and safety [4][5]. - Specific applications in smart vehicles include occupant classification detection, adaptive adjustments, airbag classification, and touch interaction on interior surfaces, showcasing the versatility of the technology [5].
