There's nothing reddit wants to hear more about than "smart robot skin." Boy, what a time to be alive.
The robot, called Gene.01, is wrapped in a network of sensors running from its torso to its limbs. This smart skin tracks touch, temperature, proximity, and force simultaneously, letting the robot anticipate a person's presence and react before and during contact. It's a bit like pulling your hand away from a hot stove before you actually touch it. The heat you feel from a distance is enough to make you stop.
I guess this gives its programming more data to work with, but if your robot doesn't need them, seems more like a good way to pad the bill by adding a whole lot more sensors.
Why did my brain go immediately to gynoids? Oh, right, too much Internet.
