There has been very good internet traffic about my research on robotic/prosthetic skins in the past three weeks.

I think there was a good pull from the Bruce Willis movie, the Surrogates.

People are interested to know how far or how near Reality is to Science Fiction.

Here are some interesting write-ups so far:

I copy an interesting blog below. I think this will be the very first external citation to our paper. As a bonus, the citation will come from a forthcoming article from Nature Materials - a supertier scientific publication =)

Am a big robotics fan.  Its great to hear about people like you innovating in this area.  I saw iRobot's blob-robot and that was very interesting, at the same time creepy.
