Interactive companion robot with nanowire-based electronic skin

具有纳米线电子皮肤的互动同伴机器人。本项目旨在设计一种具有电子皮肤的交互式陪伴机器人，通过触摸与人进行交流，促进人的心理发展。互动陪伴机器人可以提高沟通障碍人群的社会生活质量，帮助老年人。虽然触觉在人类交流中非常重要，但大多数同伴机器人缺乏触觉感知，这降低了人与机器人的交互。预期的结果是一个可触摸的机器人，对自闭症儿童的发育有益，对老年人的心理有益。

Interactive companion robot with nanowire-based electronic skin. This project aims to design an interactive companion robot with electronic skin which can communicate with people by touch and enhance their psychological development. Interactive companion robots can improve the social life quality of people with communication disorders and help elderly people. Although touch is extremely important in human communication, most companion robots lack haptic sensing, which degenerates the human-robot interaction. The anticipated outcome is a touchable robot with developmental benefits for autistic children and psychological benefits for elderly people.
