Researchers Attach Living Skin Tissue to Robots, Bringing Us Closer to Human-Like Expressions

Broke On: Friday, 28 June 2024 Researchers at the University of Tokyo have attached living skin tissue to a robotic surface, merging soft and traditional robotics. This innovation enhances robots' sensory functions and brings us closer to human-like expressions in human-robot interactions. Professor Shoji Takeuchi's team used collagen gel and V-shaped holes on the robot's surface for seamless attachment. Future research focuses on adding more sensory functions, potentially leading to self-healing robots with increased mobility and lifelike appearance.
