Hyderabad: The Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH) on Thursday said that its researchers have developed a low cost, artificial electronic skin (e-skin) which mimics the functionality of the human skin.
It stated that this "e-skin" is beneficial for acid attack and burn victims in cases where the skin is permanently damaged and loses functionality. According to a release from IITH, Professor Sushmee Badhulika, Associate Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering was last week honoured with the Indian National Academy of Engineering (INAE) Young Engineer Award in this connection.
Prof Badhulika said, the e-skin mimics the functionality of the human skin in terms of sensing even minor pressure and strain variations. It is based on natural rubber which is low-cost and biodegradable.
