Medical Robotic Hand? Rubbery Semiconductor makes it possible

Yu Robotic Hand
A medical robotic hand is just one potential application for the rubbery electronics reported by researchers.

Rubbery electronics offer promise for new applications. A medical robotic hand could allow doctors to more accurately diagnose and treat people from halfway around the world, but currently available technologies aren’t good enough to match the in-person experience.

Researchers report in Science Advances that they have designed and produced a smart electronic skin and a medical robotic hand capable of assessing vital diagnostic data by using a newly invented rubbery semiconductor with high carrier mobility.
