Artificial skin through super-sensing method and electrical impedance data from conductive fabric with aid of deep learning.

Sense of touch is a major part of man's communication with their environment. Artificial skins can help robots to have the same sense of touch, especially for their social interactions. This paper presents a pressure mapping sensing using piezo-resistive fabric to represent aspects of the sense of touch.
