<sod>'''Sensitive skin''', also known as '''sensate skin''', is an electronic sensing skin placed on the surface of a machine such as a robotic arm. The goal of the skin is to sense important environmental parameters—such as proximity to objects, heat, moisture, and direct touch sensations. Examples of a sensitive skin have been made by a group at the [[University of Tokyo]] led by Prof. Takao Someya.<eod>
