Having a robot around the home can be quite handy, just ask Anakin Skywalker in his younger days. Robots in science fiction movies seem to have gotten down the difficult part down pat – we're referring to the sense of touch as well as pressure, how does a robot know just how much pressure to apply when handling fragile items like champagne flutes and eggs, and when to tighten their grip enough to carry something heavy. Perhaps a sense of touch might help them along, thanks to the new hexagonal plate skin.
