A wave of recent research has brought robotic touch sensitivity closer to human fingertips than ever before, driven by graphene-based composites and machine learning that let artificial skins detect ...

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 ...

In a new study, researchers from the University of Tokyo, Harvard University, and the International Research Center for Neurointelligence have unveiled a technique for creating lifelike robotic skin ...

Growing cells in the laboratory is an art that humans have mastered decades ago. Recreating entire three-dimensional tissues is much more challenging. Researchers are developing a new hydrogel-based ...

Until now, artificial gels have either managed to replicate high stiffness or natural skin's self-healing properties, but not both. Now, a team of researchers has developed a hydrogel with a unique ...

Scientists at Tsinghua University in China have achieved a breakthrough in artificial skin technology, developing the world’s first “electronic skin” with a bionic three-dimensional architecture. This ...

The soft, pink blob stares at the camera with glassy eyes — before pulling its face into a dimpled smile. While it might look like the stuff of nightmares, this tiny robot covered in living skin could ...
