DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The miniaturization led advances in microelectronics 
 over 50 years have revolutionized our lives through fast computing and com
 munication. Recent advances in the field are propelled by applications suc
 h as robotics\, wearable systems\, surgical instruments and health monitor
 ing etc.\, which require electronics to conform to 3D surfaces. This calls
  for new methods to realize sensing\, electronics\, and energy related com
 ponents on unconventional substrates such as plastics and paper. This lect
 ure will present various approaches (over different time and dimension sca
 les) for obtaining distributed electronics and sensing components on flexi
 ble and conformable substrates\, especially in context with tactile or ele
 ctronic skin (e-skin). These approaches range from distributed off-the-she
 lf electronics\, integrated on flexible printed circuit boards to advanced
  alternatives such as e-skin by printed nanowires\, graphene and ultra-thi
 n chips\, etc. The lecture will also discuss the how large area tactile se
 nsing has changed the research paradigm in robotics from hand-based manipu
 lation to using large body contacts to plan and execute movements even in 
 unstructured environments. The technology developed for sensitive flexible
  (and possibly stretchable) touch sensing based systems could also enable 
 solutions for numerous emerging fields such as internet of things\, smart 
 cities and mobile health as well as global issues related to sustainable e
 nvironment and health and safety. This lecture will also discuss how the f
 lexible electronics research may unfold in the future.\n\nCo-sponsored by:
