Problems solved by technology

[0003] With the rapid development of communication technology and the continuous advancement of computer science and technology, more and more intelligent robots have entered our daily life, and the use of mechanical arms is closer to our lives. However, compared with human arms, they can sense external pressure. , stress, surface roughness and other physical characteristics of mechanical arms are still far behind. How to more accurately imitate the sensing characteristics of human arms has gradually become a research hotspot.
