Launch of artificial leather robot, communication with people

The future of robots is not only inanimate machines but also emotions and the ability to react like humans will not be far away.

Recently, a study showed that European scientists have successfully created artificial skin and new sensor technology to increase sensitivity for robots. This research promises a better robot platform in the future so that people can put them into use in industries, hospitals and even at home.

These new findings (artificial leather, new sensors), along with new production systems that provide sensitivity for different types of robots, will help improve the way they work in natural environments, as well as improve advancing the ability to communicate with other objects such as people or 'kind'.

The 'Leather-based, self-control and safety-based technology and capabilities project ' (ROBOKIN) funded by the European Union has developed a new sensor technology and management system. For robots with sensitive artificial skin like human skin.

Artificial skin is modeled extensively from real skin, so the skin will have a small network of nerves that can detect changes in temperature such as hot, cold or smooth, rough . The electronic sensors will be responsible for collecting the above sensitivities of the skin above, temporarily called 'tactile data' , and processing this data with application software to equip some operations. Basic micro for robots. The special thing is that the robot behavior can be added later according to the "owner" needs.

The project coordinator, Professor Giorgio Cannata from the Italian University of Genoa, said they had to go through rehearsals and try to play robot-assisted games to serve the research, thanks to So robots can learn through expressive states, activities and interact with other objects. The goal scientists aim for is to improve the level of awareness for robots.

Thanks to scientific progress, maybe in the near future, robots are not only inanimate machines but also emotions and the ability to react like humans.
