The Elephant Trunk Skin Inspires a Highly Sensitive and Deformable, Yet Robust, Armor Skin
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 32, 9 June 2026.The study presents the elephant trunk‐inspired armor skin with tactile sensing (ETATS). The ETATS architecture stretches and compresses while resisting puncture and tear, and it enables optical detection of pressure and lateral strain. Morphology‐based decoupling of strain and pressure paves the way to sensitive and deformable, yet robust, soft‐robotic
