Medical-use electronic skin (fabric-based flexible sensor)

Granting robots tactile sensation to innovate physical examinations in medical settings!

In the medical field, especially in palpation, accurate diagnosis and reduction of patient burden are required. Robots without tactile sensation have limitations in delicate palpation and interaction with patients. Fabric-based flexible sensors enable robots to have human-like tactile sensations, allowing for more precise palpation and reducing patient anxiety. Robots without tactile sensation are not just cold, lifeless tools; they can become a threat. However, the situation changes dramatically with fabric-based flexible sensor technology. By embedding thousands of sensors into textile materials, robots are given "smart skin." This way, robots can respond with friendly vibrations. The customer's fear dissipates, transforming into an encounter with a new conversational partner. 【Application Scenes】 - Surgical support robots - Rehabilitation 【Effects of Implementation】 - Improved diagnostic accuracy - Reduced burden on patients - Reduced burden on healthcare professionals
