Hanyang University ERICA Develops New E-Skin Giving Robots Human-Like Touch

A research team at Hanyang University in South Korea has developed a novel vertically integrated dual-gated tribotronic transistor, creating a new 'e-skin' that provides robots with human-like touch. This breakthrough addresses limitations in conventional tribotronic devices, offering gate-tunable amplification of triboelectronic responses and improved integration into large-area architectures, which is crucial for advanced electronic skin and intelligent robotics.
