TOKYO — Japanese scientists have used human cells to develop an equivalent to living skin that can be attached to robotic surfaces to flash a realistic — if creepy — smile.
The University of Tokyo researchers published their findings this week along with a video of the gooey-looking pink material being stretched into an unsettling grin.They used a 'skin-forming cell-laden gel' to create a 'robot covered with living skin,' their study in the journal Cell Reports Physical Science said.The biohybrid robot specialists hope the technology will one day play a role in the invention of androids with human-like appearances and abilities.
The new material could signal a departure from traditional humanoid robots covered with genuine-looking skin often made of silicone rubber, which cannot sweat or heal itself.The scientists' goal is 'to endow robots with the self-healing capabilities inherent in biological skin,' but they are not there yet.In previous studies they grafted collagen onto a cut on lab-grown skin covering a robotic finger to demonstrate how it could be repaired.
