Sensitive skin
Introduction
Sensitive skin is an electronic environmental sensing device.
Sensitive skin, also known as sensate skin, is an electronic sensing skin
placed on the surface of a machine such as a robotic arm.
Goal is to sense environmental parameters-heat, moisture, pressure, and direct touch sensation.
This technology would enable robots to sense their environment and react
to it, much like humans respond when something or someone touches their skin.
This technology was first seen in 2005, Technologist Vladimir Lumelsky worked on sensor embedded skin coverings for robots
SKIN METERIALS
Sensitive Skin material will hold embedded sensors and related signal processing hardware. It needs to be flexible enough for attaching it to the outer surfaces of machines with moving parts and flexible joints.
The skin must stretch, shrink, and wrinkle the way human skin does, or to have other compensating features. Otherwise, some machine parts may become "exposed" due to the machine's moving parts, and have no associated sensing
Advantages & Disadvantages
SOCIETAL NEEDS AND CONCERNS OF SENSITIVE SKIN
HEALTH INDUSTRY
Sensitive skin will supplant sensing ability of the human skin in limb prosthetics & as a replacement of damaged human skin. It will augment human sensing in wearable clothing, by monitoring, processing, and wireless transfer of information about the well-being of the person wearing sensitive skin. This will advance the post-traumatic health care, care for disabled and elderly persons, and monitoring of military personnel on the battlefield
ENVIRONMENT – FRIENDLY TECHONOLOGY
For the first time in history, machines will be endowed with a capacity to be careful. By its very nature, sensitive skin will contribute in a dramatic way to the reversal of the well-known negative impact of machines on our environment, across a wide spectrum of natural and man-made settings
DIFFICULTIES OF ACCEPTANCE
Today we are psychologically unprepared for automatic moving machines operating in our midst. We are not sure we need them. We are uneasy about the idea of living side by side with a powerful unattended moving machine. It is difficult to imagine that one could stand next to a powerful moving machine and trust it enough to turn one’s back to it
