: Soft sensors have continued growing interest because they enable both passive conformal contact and provide active contact data from the sensor properties. However, the same properties of conformal contact result in faster deteri-oration of soft sensors and larger variations in their response characteristics over time and across samples, inhibiting their ability to be long-lasting and replaceable. ReSkin is a tactile soft sensor that leverages machine learning and magnetic sensing to offer a…
