3D printed bionic skin could give robots a sense of touch

A new 3D printed'bionic skin' could soon allow robots to feel the world around them. And, researchers say it's a step toward electronic devices that can be printed directly onto the human body. The layers of'ink' used in the technique can set at room temperature, making for'endless' possible applications, from surgical robots to wearables that can detect explosives.
