Live Demonstration: System based on Electronic Skin and Cutaneous Electrostimulation for Sensory Feedback in Prosthetics

To restore the sense of touch in upper limb prosthetics, a prosthetic device can be equipped with tactile sensors providing data to be transmitted to the user using either invasive or non-invasive interfaces. This demo will be based on our sensing - noninvasive stimulation feedback system [1]. It will show two important aspects of our technology: 1) High sensitivity: light touch detection will be enabled by the high sensitivity of electronic skin (e-skin) prototypes for fingertips, 2) Measuring complex interactions: different contact shapes and multiple contact points will be detected by the commercial e-skin prototype suitable for palm.
