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 step toward robots with lifelike appearance and touch. The cultured skin layer wrapped around the mechanical finger and reportedly healed and flexed like real tissue. Commentators say the work could advance humanoid robotics, prosthetics and skin-graft medicine, while raising questions about how lifelike machines should become.
Why now: The demonstration of living skin on a robot is a striking breakthrough with implications for robotics and medicine
