The lab-tested material responds to almost the same pressures as human skin and with the same speed, they reported in the British journal Nature Materials. Important hurdles remain but the exploit is an advance towards replacing today's clumsy robots and artificial arms with smarter, touch-sensitive upgrades, they believe. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100912/hl_afp/sciencebiotechrobotshealthskin
