Scientists at the University of Tokyo have developed a skin-like coating of collagen and human dermal fibroblasts for a three-jointed robotic finger. According to Shoji Takeuchi, the lead author of this study,
living skin is the ultimate solution to give robots the appearance and sense of touch of living beings.
The details of the skin could be further refined to include hair follicles and nails to make interaction with humanoids more palatable and achieve greater acceptance, especially in the healthcare and service industries.
