ABSTRACT

Sensitive skin is a large-area, flexible array of sensors with data processing capabilities,Which
can be used to cover the entire surface of a machine or even a part of a human Body. Depending
on the skin electronics, it endows its carrier with an ability to sense its Surroundings via the
skin, proximity, touch, pressure, temperature, chemical/biological, Or other sensors. Sensitive
skin devices will make possible the use of unsupervised Machines operating in unstructured,
unpredictable surroundings among people, among Many obstacles, outdoors on a crowded
street, under machines sea, or on faraway planets. Sensitive Skin will make machines cautious
and thus friendly to their environment. This will allow Us to build machine helpers for the
disabled and elderly, bring sensing to human Prosthetics, and widen the scale of use in service
industry. With their ability to Produce and process massive data flow, sensitive skin devices
will make yet another Advance in the information revolution. This paper surveys the state of
the art and research Issues that need to be resolved in order to make sensitive skin a
reality.Sensitive skin is a large array of sensors embedded in a flexible, stretchable, and/or
foldable substrate that might cover the surface of a moving machine. By endowing these
machines with ability to sense their surroundings, sensitive skin will make it possible to have
unsupervised machinery in unstructured, unpredictable surroundings. Sensitive skin will make
the machines cautious and thus friendly to their environment. With these properties, sensitive
skin will revolutionize important areas of service industry, make crucial contributions to human
prosthetics, and augment human sensing when fashioned into clothing.
