Scientists from Japan have created living human skin that will help in the creation of biohybrid robots, which are made of both living and artificial materials. The method was presented on June 9 in the journal Matter. The team was able to give a robotic finger a skin-like texture, as well as wate
The idea of self-healing skin wrapped around a robotic skeleton conjures up all kinds of sci-fi imagery, yet a group of Japanese researchers has managed to develop a controllable robotic finger covered in “living” skin which they say could bring truly human-like robots a step closer to reality.
