Researchers in Singapore have developed an electronic material that helps robots sense touch and nearby objects.
The material is a kind of foam: a solid substance that is filled with air and is soft. And the foam has another useful quality. It repairs itself when damaged, much like human skin.
The material is called AiFoam, which is short for ....

SINGAPORE, July 6 (Reuters) - Singapore researchers have
developed a smart foam material that allows robots to sense
nearby objects, and repairs itself when damaged, just like human
skin.
Artificially innervated foam, or AiFoam, is a highly elastic
polymer created by mixing fluoropolymer with a compound that
lowers surface tension.
This allows the spongy material to fuse easily into one
piece when cut, according to the researchers at the National
University of Singapore.
There are many applications for such a material, especially
in robotics and prosthetic devices, where robots need to be a ....
