A first-ever stretchy electronic skin could equip robots and other devices with the same softness and touch sensitivity as human skin, opening up new possibilities to perform tasks that require a great deal of precision and control of force.

      Incredibly advanced AI, yet it couldn’t fix the German accent. My Google Home speaker can do better.

    There will be a day when a robot crushes it’s digit in a machine and learns that we gave it the ability to feel pain.

      Solution: wrap all machines in skin, and several eyes, and ears, so it can sense if it’s about to injure someone. And at least one mouth do that it can communicate a warning.
