Touch gives not only psychological but also emotional satisfaction. It is not only the touch itself that is important, but also the feel. Materials such as plastic or synthetic tend to be perceived negatively, while materials that are soft and human-like are perceived positively. The idea of the soft robot allows for an interactive product. The silicone model mimics human behaviour, such as breathing, by inflating and deflating. The deformation of the silicone model exerts pressure on the human skin, mimicking real human contact. The surface of the silicone is modelled on human skin. The silicone has also been combined with a conductive material so that it can detect and respond to human touch.
