Scientists at the University of Colorado has created the electronic skin, reports Rus.Media.

About his invention, they said in the online edition of Science Advances.

E-leather has properties similar to normal skin: it is soft, elastic, able to sense the air temperature and humidity, and also to recover if damaged.

E-leather is a fine material, which is based on polymin, and capable of completely recycled at ambient temperature.

How to tell the researchers, the technology could be useful in the creation of prostheses and in robotics.

“The feeling here play a key role, because we don’t want to work in interaction with humans has caused them harm, — said one of the study’s authors, Janani Zuo. — In addition, the handling of the baby, if she is sick, the robot can determine its temperature.”
