That robot finger with living skin

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have grown a skin-like layered material from bio-materials found in human skin. The result, demonstrated on a robot finger, self-fits to the underlying structure, is flexible, soft to the touch, and shows some self-healing properties. A 3D printed three-jointed finger, later operated by nylon threads running through it, was used ...
