Popis: Soft electronic skin (soft-e-skin) capable of sensing touch and pressure similar to human skin is essential in many applications, including robotics, healthcare, and augmented reality. However, most of the research effort on soft-e-skin was confined to the lab-scale demonstration. Several hurdles remain challenging, such as highly complex and expensive fabrication processes, instability in long-term use, and difficulty producing large areas and mass production. Here, we present a robust 3D printable large-area electronic skin made of a soft and resilient polymer capable of detecting touch and load, and bending with extreme sensitivity (up to 150 kPa
