Part 7/8:
Moreover, ongoing research explores integrating multiple sensors into a single device, enabling seamless perception of complex stimuli—such as texture, vibration, and thermal changes—mirroring the versatility of human skin.
The Promise of Sensory Integration in Prosthetics
The development of sensor technologies like the E-Dermis marks a pivotal step toward truly sensory-aware prosthetics. When successful, these innovations promise to transform users’ interactions with their environment—restoring not just function but also a fundamental human experience.
