TU MunichThe sensitive robot
A team at the Technical University of Munich has developed a system of artificial skin and control algorithms inspired by biological models. This has enabled a human-sized autonomous robot to be fitted with artificial skin over a large area for the first time.

"Our system is designed to work smoothly and quickly with all types of robots," says Prof. Gordon Cheng, Professor of Cognitive Systems at the Technical University of Munich. "We are now working on designing smaller skin cells that can be produced in larger quantities in the future."
