Manufacturing process improvements made with the help of artificial intelligent machine capability. There is a lot of research done into materials that will enable these robots to “feel” temperature and pressure like human skin. Researchers at UC Boulder have found a solution to the problem that has been plaguing our industry for years. Scientists have successfully developed an artificial skin that is sensitive to heat and pressure as well as can heal any scar or scratch.
It was the difficult conditions of real-world applications that limited the development of such machines. They would have had to fix sensor problems resulting from abrasions and wounds.
Researchers were able to create a material that can transfer heat and pressure and help wounds heal. This new polymer is extremely durable and efficient with ethanol, the only required ingredient for healing wounds at room temperature. The structure uses a special solvent that breaks down the polymer from silver particles.
This invention is a milestone in robotic science and the prosthetic limb manufacturing industry. It will enable the creation of products with greatly increased capabilities and endurance.
