Abstract in brief

  • The human skin's ability to capture various types of data is emulated using a single-layer multimodal sensory skin made from a sensitive hydrogel membrane, overcoming limitations faced by traditional MEMS technologies.
  • By employing electrical impedance tomography, the device can detect six different types of stimuli, including touch and temperature changes, through a network of 863,040 conductive pathways.
  • This innovative framework allows for the efficient monitoring and structuring of sensory information, with practical applications demonstrated in a hydrogel hand that can predict environmental conditions and accurately sense touch.
