University of Tokyo Grows Living Human Skin on Robot Finger

Original: University of Tokyo Grows Living Human Skin on a Robotic Finger

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have grown living human skin on a robotic finger, a breakthrough in biohybrid robotics. The lab-grown skin wraps around the mechanical digit and can heal itself, potentially leading to more lifelike robots, better cosmetics testing, and advances in regenerative medicine.

Why now: The demonstration of self-healing living tissue on a robot is a striking step toward lifelike humanoids and medical applications.
