NTU develops thinner-than-hair stretchable tech to mind-control robots

Jedi-like abilities to wave at a robot to control it can soon be a reality thanks to soft electronics being developed at NTU.

Conventional electronics products are hard and rigid since they rely on silicon as their primary substrate. These products work well at industrial scales or even for personal use products.According to the United Nations, 15 percent of the global population has a physical disability of some form. Just like electronics help ease our daily lives, technology could also help improve the lives of those with disabilities.

This connector can be stretched to seven times its length and is also 60 times tougher than conventional connectors, the researchers said in a press release.NTU researchers have already demonstrated the use of soft electronics by integrating various sensors into their devices to measure parameters like heart rate, oxygen levels, and blood pressure, to list a few.For instance, these bandages can facilitate the movements of joints.
