Nonlinear phasic sensing for biomimetic electronic skin: advancing sensory in prosthetic limbs and robotics

This research project aims to enhance the feeling of touch in artificial limbs and robots through a cutting-edge solution called
biomimetic electronic skin. Existing touch technologies are limited, and this study is set out to make them feel more lifelike for
amputees and more capable for robotic systems. We are developing an efficient electronic system and using machine learning
to interpret touch signals for various gestures. The results of this work could significantly improve prosthetic technology, enable
better interaction between humans and machines, and increase the quality of life for individuals with limb amputations. This
will lead to clinical trials where users’ satisfaction and performance with these advanced features will be evaluated. The insights
gained will contribute to the design of future robotic systems, making them more efficient and self-sufficient in interacting with
the world.
