Duplicating the Human Skin to Improve Robot Sensing
14:22 - 22:55 (08:33)
The challenge of building skin for robots has been tackled by focusing on strategies to duplicate the human skin's ability to sense. Thankfully, today's technology such as 3D CAD tools has allowed for cheaper and more efficient ways of building robots.

Summary
The potential for robotics is infinite, as there are many applications where the robot can clearly deliver more value to the end-user than it costs. The steps taken towards robotics are just initial steps, and the space for applications that fit the criteria of significant value over alternative non-robotic solutions is vast.
