Engineers at the University of Glasgow designed and developed a flexible, broadband photodetector that could be used in an electronic skin for robotics, as well as in other sectors. Such a photodetector-based skin could enable robots to perceive information by using detected light to effectively “see” beyond the range of human vision. As an electronic skin, the team’s technology could enable robots to detect light from the UV, through the visible portion, and to the IR. According to Ravinder Dahiya, head of the Bendable Electronics and Sensing Technologies...Read full article
