  Machine Learning-Driven Polymer Composite Smart Skin for Integrated Sensing in Soft Robotic Systems

  By Harish Reddy Gantla, Radha Seelaboyina, M. Sreenivasulu, S. Sagar Imambi, Sanjeev Kumar, Muthukumar Subramanian

  Abstract: Soft robotics has grown rapidly, but its progress is still constrained by the limitations of current sensing skins. Most polymer-based sensors provide either flexibility or sensitivity, yet they struggle to deliver real-time communication and adaptive intelligence when deployed in complex robotic environments. This disconnect between material performance and system-level responsiveness forms a critical bottleneck for practical deployment. Existing approaches often treat tactile sensing and wireless communication as separate problems. As …
