Scientists have developed a robotic 'skin' that allows robots to interact with the physical world in a more meaningful way.

The low-cost, flexible, durable material can be formed into any shape, and was trained using a combination of physical tests and machine learning to detect different types of touch, including pressure, temperature, humidity and damage.

In addition to potential future applications for humanoid robots or human prosthetics where a sense of touch is vital, the researchers say the robotic skin could be useful in industries as varied as the automotive sector or disaster relief.
