Biomimetic Skin

By Oliver Ozioko, Ravinder Dahiya, Markellos Ntagios

Biomimetic Skin explores how robots can gain the humanlike sense of touch needed for safe, intelligent interaction. Inspired by biology and powered by advances in soft electronics and 3D printing, this book shows how artificial skin can detect pressure, vibration, texture, and shape while adapting to curved and flexible surfaces.

From sensorized robotic hands to stacked tactile receptors that mimic human mechanoreceptors, the authors present breakthrough designs that integrate sensing, actuation, and computation into seamless systems. Case studies reveal how machine learning enhances texture recognition and how tightly coupled skins pave the way for prosthetics, humanoids, and immersive AR/VR.

Readable and forward-looking, Biomimetic Skin is essential for researchers, engineers, and innovators shaping the future of robotics, haptics, and human-machine interaction.

This book is the book 8 of the series 'Cognitive Robotics' .
