Would You Trust a Robot That Feels Pain?

Imagine a robot that can actually sense pain—thanks to a new synthetic skin packed with over 860,000 signal pathways. Scientists literally poked, burned, and sliced this e-skin to see if it could mimic the way we feel touch, heat, or damage. The result? A single, multi-modal sensor that’s cheaper, more durable, and eerily close to human skin. Could this breakthrough change how we think about robots in healthcare or daily life—or does it raise new ethical questions? #Tech #Robotics #TechEthics
