SkinBot
A Wearable, Skin-Climbing Robot
A lightweight robot that moves over the skin's surface with a two-legged suction-based locomotion mechanism and captures a wide range of body parameters with an exchangeable multipurpose sensing module. SkinBot will enable a more systematic study of the human body and will offer opportunities to advance areas such as telemedicine, human-computer interfaces, body care, and fashion.
