- This work was supported in part by the European Commission (PITN‐GA‐2012‐317488‐CONTEST) and EPSRC (EP/M002527/1, EP/M002519/1). Energy-autonomy is significant for applications involving wearable electronics, wearable robotic devices/prosthesis and robotic tactile skin. The work was featured in news and tech media such as the BBC, The Times, Forbes, IEEE-Spectrum, Fortune, CBC, and Reuters. A patent (WO2018150018) was filed and granted. The work enabled a Horizon2020 EU project (NeuTouch, €4.1M) and an extension of the EPSRC project (EP/R029644/1 £1M) in collaboration with three industrial partners: Touch Bionics, the Shadow Robot company and ARM.
