Scientists have developed a new type of electronic „skin“ that could give [robots](https://www.livescience.com/technology/robotics/robots-facts) the ability to „feel“ different tactile sensations like pokes, prods and temperature changes — and even the feeling of being stabbed.
The skin is made from an electrically conductive, gelatin-based material that can be molded into different shapes. When equipped with a special type of [electrode](https://www.livescience.com/50657-how-batteries-work.html), the material can detect signals from hundreds of thousands of connective pathways that correspond to different touch and pressure sensations.
The scientists said the material could be used in [humanoid robots](https://www.livescience.com/technology/robotics/the-most-advanced-humanoid-robots-that-emerged) or [human prosthetics](https://www.livescience.com/health/anatomy/you-can-get-the-feeling-that-you-are-touching-another-human-new-prosthetic-device-detects-temperature) where a sense of touch is vital, in addition to having broader applications in the [automotive](https://www.livescience.com/technology/electric-vehicles) sector and in disaster relief. They published their findings June 11 in the journal [Science Robotics](https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scirobotics.adq2303).
>give robots skin with human like nerves and sense of touch
>immediately torture and maim the skin to see what happens
Never change, science
Awesome, manmade horrors beyond comprehension. Reminds me of “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream”
Didn’t James Cameron already cover these consequences?
This might be good for burn victims since a lot of people have burns that cover their face or other areas.
I wonder if adding more analogue sensors increases the likelihood of an ai developing something akin to sentience, and if that’s a good or bad thing. Is emulating a human experience ethical?
Nope. Don’t like it.
Just because we can, doesn’t mean we should.
So robot torturing is now on the cards. Cool cool. Shouldn’t have any bad side effects if the singularity finally arrives.

Watch it jiggle.
See it wiggle.
Jello brand robotic skin!
Science isn’t about WHY. It’s about WHY NOT. Why is so much of our science dangerous? Why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won’t hit you on the butt on the way out, because you are fired. – Cave Johnson
I can’t BELIEVE the ignorance on display. Nobody is being harmed. Nobody is EXPERIENCING anything. The potential for good that this technology heralds is so profound but you’ve all seen too many movies.
this may be a massive breakthrough for prosthetics? if it doesn’t require a lot of computing power for the user, that is.
