3. INTRODUCTION
 It is ultrathin electronics device attaches to the skin
like a sick on tattoo which can measure electrical
activity of heart, brain waves & other vital signals.
 There are various names of artificial skin in biomedical field it is called as
artificial skin, in our electronics field it is called as electronic skin, some
scientist it called as sensitive skin, in other way it also called as synthetic
skin, some people says that it is fake skin.
 It is skin replacement for people who have suffered skin trauma, such as
severe burns or skin diseases or Robotic application and so on.

4. DVELOPMENT OF E-SKIN
 2010
 Attaching nanowire transistors to sticky substrate, embedded in thin
pressure sensitive rubber capable of sensing of wide range of pressure
(California University).
 First prototype of e-skin.
 2011
 Stretchable solar cell used to power the electronic skin (Stanford).
 2012
 Self-healing capacity
 Made by plastic and nickel.

5. ARCHITECTURE OF E-SKIN

6. E-SKIN FEATURES
 Optimization of pressure sensor & Electronic read out but no human readable
output.
 The new e-skin: Spatially map the applied
Pressure and instantaneous visual response
through OLED.
 Can measure electrical activity of the heart,
brainwaves and other vital signs.
 It can record electrical activity along the scalp.
 Muscle contraction in the neck can control the
mouse in the computer.

7. FABRICATION OF E-SKIN
 U.S. and Chinese Scientists used zinc oxide vertical
nanowires to generate sensitivity.
 To achieve this sensitivity, researchers created a sort of flexible and transparent
electronics sheet of about eight thousand transistors using vertical nanowires of zinc
oxide.
 Each transistor can directly convert mechanical motion and touch into signals that are
controlled electronically.
 it provides greater sensitivity and resolution. The system is based on piezoelectricity.

8. ADVANTAGES, DISADVANTAGES AND
APPLICATIONS
 Advantages:
 Reduces wires, compact in size, less in weight
 The device is so floppy and flexible.
 Disadvantages:
 Can be expansive
 Allergic reaction to artificial compound
 Applications:
 Medical and health monitoring device
 Robotics
 Interactive input devices

9. Future scope
 In future even virtual screens may be placed on device for knowing our
body function.
 Used in interactive wallpapers, smart watches, car dashboard. We can
predict a patient of an oncoming heart attack hours in advance.

10. CONCLUSION
 The Artificial Skin is one such device which depicts the beauty of electronics and
its use in daily life. The artificial skin is "smarter and similar to human skin. It
also offers greater sensitivity and resolution than current commercially available
techniques.
