E-skin for robotics and prosthetics has attracted significant interest recently and rightly so because it bestows robots with new capability to feel objects by touching and enables amputees to regain their lost touch sensory feelings. But that's not all. With conformal contact with our body parts, as tattoo or second-skin, the e-skin could also augment our sensory capabilities. For example, monitoring vital health parameters. This talk will cover these wide ranging applications of e-skin - for both the machine and the man.
Ravinder Dahiya is Professor of Electronics and Nanoengineering and Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Fellow in the School of Engineering at University of Glasgow. He is the leader of Bendable Electronics and Sensing Technologies (BEST) group. His group conducts fundamental research on high-mobility materials based flexible electronics and electronic skin, and their application in robotics, prosthetics and wearable systems.
Prof. Dahiya has published more than 200 research articles, 4 books (3 at various publication stages), and 11 patents (including 7 submitted). He has given more than 100 invited/plenary talks. He has led many international projects including those funded by European Commission, EPSRC, The Royal Society, The Royal Academy of Engineering, and The Scottish Funding Council. Prof. Dahiya is Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Sensors Council.
The Thinking Digital Conference is an annual gathering of creatives, innovators, businesspeople, entrepreneurs and techies. Each May, hundreds of Thinkers gather in Newcastle over 2 days to explore and celebrate the ideas and innovations that are changing our world.
