Bionic Tactile Skins for Robotics: Fundamentals, Advances, and Future Prospects

SmartSys, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Robotic bionic tactile skins (RBTSs), as crucial components of next‐generation robotic systems, have attracted significant attention in recent years. By enabling robots to achieve human‐like tactile perception and interact effectively with their surroundings, RBTSs play an essential role in enhancing robotic intelligence.

Single‐Layer Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Polymer Films With Visible Broadband Reflection

Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 29, 7 August 2026.
A single‐layer spin‐coated cholesteric liquid crystal polymer film exhibiting broadband reflection across the visible spectrum is demonstrated. By controlling photopolymerization‐induced pitch‐gradient formation, the film achieves low‐scattering broadband reflection, circular polarization selectivity, and compatibility with photolithographic patterning
