A prototype developed at Temple emulates human tactile sensation. Developed by Chang-Hee Won, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, the sensor could one day be used by doctors in the diagnosis of lumps, lesions, or tumors during physical exams. "Once a doctor feels a lesion, lump, or tumor, they can use this device to actually characterize the mechanical properties of the irregularity that they have felt," he said.
