00:00In the future, robots may fill the world the same way we do, through their skin.
00:05To bring that vision closer, scientists have developed a revolutionary type of electronic skin
00:11that mimics the sensitivity and flexibility of human skin.
00:16This material is ultra-lightweight, super-stretchy,
00:20and packed with up to 4,000 micro-sensors in just a small patch.
00:25Just like our skin can sense the slightest touch,
00:27this e-skin can detect forces as tiny as a single gram.
00:33And if it gets damaged? No problem.
00:36The rest of it keeps functioning.
00:38It even adapts to uneven surfaces like robotic fingers,
00:42making it perfect for next-gen robots.
