00:00In the future, robots may fill the world the same way we do, through their skin.

00:05To bring that vision closer, scientists have developed a revolutionary type of electronic skin

00:11that mimics the sensitivity and flexibility of human skin.

00:16This material is ultra-lightweight, super-stretchy,

00:20and packed with up to 4,000 micro-sensors in just a small patch.

00:25Just like our skin can sense the slightest touch,

00:27this e-skin can detect forces as tiny as a single gram.

00:33And if it gets damaged? No problem.

00:36The rest of it keeps functioning.

00:38It even adapts to uneven surfaces like robotic fingers,

00:42making it perfect for next-gen robots.
