Scientific and research journals have confirmed that scientists are now closer than ever before to creating a “living robot” that looks like real life signs, after creating what was called “living human skin”, which could make robots look similar to humans.
The scientific sources indicated that the innovative skin is actually from human cells, and it is waterproof, and it can even treat the wounds it is exposed to as well.
“I think live skin is the ultimate solution to giving robots the look and feel of living things because it’s exactly the same material that covers animals.”
The researchers succeeded in painting the finger of a three-jointed robot as a prototype for this lab-grown skin, by dragging “sciencealert”.
The finger ‘seems’ sweating a little in the culture medium… Because the finger is powered by an electric motor, it’s also interesting to hear the motor clicking in unison with a finger that looks like a real finger.
Previous attempts to graft skin on robotic surfaces have proven very difficult, so tissue engineer at the University of Tokyo Michio Kawai and his colleagues devised a method that allows the skin to shape itself on the device, meaning that future robots will be grafted and building live skin on it after its manufacture, which may make it look like humans.
