Tokyo researchers have developed a method to create living skin for robots by using perforation anchors. Kurt “CyberGuy' Knutsson reveals the exciting possibilities.
Researchers from the University of Tokyo have developed a groundbreaking method to cover robotic surfaces with genuine, living skin tissue. The idea of robots with skin isn't just about creating a more lifelike appearance. This innovation opens up a world of possibilities, from more realistic prosthetics to robots that can seamlessly blend into human spaces.
How does it work? The secret lies in something called 'perforation-type anchors.' These clever little structures are inspired by the way our own skin attaches to the tissues underneath. Essentially, they allow living tissue to grow into and around the robot's surface, creating a secure bond. The researchers used a combination of human dermal fibroblasts and human epidermal keratinocytes to create this living skin.
