Let’s go to Kathmandu. Chinese scientists are making strides in technological development. Recently, Chinese scientists have developed an electronic skin. This allows robots to not only feel touch but also feel pain. <\/p>\n
The e-skin, developed by Yu Gao, an engineer at the City University of Hong Kong, is based on neuromorphic technology. It works like the human nervous system. <\/p>\n
Its biggest advantage is that if the robot touches a sharp or hot object, it will perform a human-like reflex function and immediately withdraw its hand. This will increase the safety of both the robot and the people who come in contact with it. <\/p>\n
This artificial skin is made up of four active layers. According to scientists, when someone touches this skin, it converts that touch into electrical signals. These signals are similar to the way our nerves send signals to the brain. <\/p>\n
If the pressure is light, the robot will perceive it as a normal touch and continue its work. However, as soon as the pressure exceeds a certain threshold, the robot will recognize it as pain and respond immediately. <\/p>\n
The most unique feature of this technology is its reflex system. Normally, every action of a robot goes through its central processor (brain), which takes time. However, this is a direct route to the e-skin. <\/p>\n
The signal sends a high-voltage pulse directly to the robot’s motors when a severe pain or injury is felt. It immediately retracts the robot’s limbs without waiting for instructions from the brain. It’s like a way of automatically withdrawing our hands when we touch a burning candle. <\/p>\n
Scientists have made it not only sensitive but also durable. This skin is made up of small magnetic modules. It is connected like a building block. <\/p>\n
Self-awareness: <\/span> Each sensor unit sends a continuous small signal to signal its function. <\/p>\n Instant Repair{<\/span> If any part of the skin is cut or torn, the signal will be turned off. This allows the robot to detect injuries quickly. However, this skin cannot repair itself. The damaged area can be removed in seconds using a magnet and replaced with a new one. <\/p>\n Intimacy between humans and robots will increase<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n }<\/p>\n According to the researchers, by feeling pain, robots will behave “humanely” and improve their coordination and relationships with humans. When robots can sense pain and touch, they will be able to interact and work with people more sensitively. <\/p>\n This technology will be a game changer, especially for robots deployed to care for the elderly at home or to help patients in hospitals. \u2013Agency<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let’s go to Kathmandu.
