Real-time health monitoring and sensing abilities of robots require soft electronics but a challenge of using such materials lies in their reliability. Unlike rigid devices, being elastic and pliable makes their performance less repeatable. The variation in reliability is known as hysteresis. Guided by the theory of contact mechanics, a team of researchers developed a sensor material that has significantly less hysteresis. This ability enables more accurate wearable health technology and robotic sensing.
