Japanese scientists develop 'robot skin' innovative

Japanese scientists develop 'robot skin' innovative

TOKYO - Japanese scientists claim to be able to develop what they refer to as electronic circuits most thin and the mildest. Developing a further could be used in health application and 'robot skin' in the future.

Researchers from Tokyo University, Takao Someya and Tsuyoshi Sekitani has been work on projects supported by Exploratory Research for Advanced Technology (ERATO) as well as the group of the Johannes Kepler University (JKU) in Austria.

Ultra-thin integrated circuit that are produced claimed to be thinner than the 'cling film'. The circuit production is also low cost. This findings, reported in the journal Nature last week.

In the report, scientists explained that they use direct fabrication on ultra-thin foil polymer materials, electronic circuits and ultra mild flexible in accordance with the dynamic environment. In addition it, scientists also rely on organic transistors with 'gate oxide dielectric' ultra dense with a thickness of a few nanometers.

Japanese tech site, DigInfo TV is broadcast video showing the ultra-thin circuit that is working on a prototype touch sensor. "A new flexible touch sensor (innovation) the thinnest, mildest. I am sure this development will open various new applications, ranging from health monitoring systems, medical equipment and even skin robots in the future," explains the researcher.
