Scientists combine EIT and pneumatic sensing for humanoid robot skin
Scientists have developed a hybrid robotic skin that combines electrical impedance tomography with pneumatic pressure sensing in an effort to improve force detection across large areas of a humanoid robot, as highlighted by RoboSkin. Described in a preprint published in May 2026, the system uses electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to determine where contact occurs, while four […]
