The researchers’ robotic finger contains conductive fiber coils and a twisted liquid-metal fiber at the fingertip.

Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China said they have developed a soft robotic “finger” with a sense of touch that can perform routine doctor office examinations, including taking a patient’s pulse and checking for abnormal lumps.
