Human-like skin for humanoids: Japan creates new tissue binding tech for robots | Researchers found a way to bind skin to complex structures by mimicking skin-ligament structures and using V-shaped perforations.
Researchers develop engineered skin tissue that binds to humanoid robots, enhancing mobility, self-healing, and lifelike appearance.
The earlier methods for this process involved mini anchors or hooks to attach skin tissue to solid surfaces, limiting coating applications and risking damage during movement. The new anchoring method enables flexible skin to conform to any shape, such as a flat robotic face that smiles and returns to its original form afterward.“Manipulating soft, wet biological tissues during the development process is much harder than people outside the field might think. While organ-on-a-chip concepts are well-established in drug development, the potential for a face-on-a-chip opens new avenues in studying skin aging, cosmetics, surgical techniques, and plastic surgery.
