BBC World News features robotics research from TUM

BBC "Horizons" highlights artificial skin for robots

The current episode of "Horizons" on BBC World News focuses on technology inspired by nature 鈥� including sensitive artificial skin developed by Philipp Mittendorfer at TUM's Institute for Cognitive Systems. On the show, he explains how research with the so-called Cellul.A.R.Skin is opening the way for humanoid, industrial, and service robots to work safely with people in shared environments.

The cur颅rent ver颅sion of the ar颅ti颅fi颅cial skin makes ro颅bots so sen颅sitive they not only avoid poten颅tially harm颅ful con颅tact but can even be gui颅ded with a feath颅er. The cir颅cuitry and al颅go颅rithms be颅hind it can easily be in颅te颅grated into other ap颅proaches, ran颅ging from tra颅di颅tional sys颅tem-on-chip tech颅no颅lo颅gy to prin颅ted or颅ga颅nic se颅mi颅con颅duc颅tors.
