the electronic skin, known as e-skin, mimics the sensory capabilities of human skin by integrating pressure sensors, stretchable circuitry, and a sophisticated neural network. the team accomplished this feat by combining advanced materials, flexible electronics, and machine learning algorithms. the result is a thin, flexible, and highly sensitive e-skin that can accurately perceive and respond to different levels of pressure and touch.
