Lab grown skin for robots The University of Tokyo's research team has developed a method to adhere bioengineered skin grown from human cells onto any surface shape, including robot faces. This innovative approach utilizes V-shaped perforations in the skin to enhance flexibility and a collagen gel for adhesion. The resulting skin can move with the mechanical components of the robot without tearing or peeling away, offering a new level of functionality for robotic applications. This research could have significant implications for the cosmetics industry and orthopedic surgery, as well as for the development of more realistic prosthetics and robots that can interact with humans in more natural ways
