Arrr, me hearties! Tech wizard Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson be spillin' the beans on how landlubber scientists be teachin' metal mates to feel like a true pirate’s parrot! With some clever sorcery of AI and shiny sensors, them robots be touchin' more than just their own booties!

Ahoy, mateys! Gather ‘round fer a tale o’ wondrous invention that be stirrin’ the heart o’ the seven seas! A band o' clever swabs from the German Aerospace Centre have concocted a way to give our mechanical mates a sense o’ touch without breakin’ the bank on fancy skins. Yarrr, now these metal lads can feel like a true buccaneer!

Instead o’ usin’ costly gizmos, they be usin' that tricksy thing called artificial intelligence to make sense of the whispers from the robot's insides. With this magic, robots be able to sense pressure and force, just like yer ol' sea dog senses a storm brewin’ on the horizon!

And here’s the real treasure: these clever contraptions can sport virtual buttons and sliders anywhere ye please! Imagine interactin’ with yer robot matey as ye would with a fellow pirate—talkin’ with a gentle poke or a mighty push!

They’ve even taught these tin can mates to read numbers traced upon their shiny hides! Aye, a whole new world o’ communication awaits, makin’ ‘em more adaptable than a pirate at a rum party!

As the scallywags claim, “This opens up uncharted waters for human-robot interaction!” So, hoist the sails, and let’s embrace the dawn of touchy-feely robots, turnin’ the tides in fields from healthcare to shipbuilding! Yarrr!
