A quasi‐periodic porous structure‐based temperature and pressure dual‐mode electronic skin was proposed. Benefiting from the quasi‐periodic porous structure, the temperature and pressure sensing performance of the electronic skin can be precisely constructed and optimized by changing the size of the porous structure. By analyzing the thermoelectric and
