Robot Finger With Living Skin Points To A New Future #shorts

A moist, disembodied finger floating in a petri dish is the latest biohybrid advance, a technology that fuses biological and non-biological materials together.

University of Tokyo scientists debuted the artificial finger, claiming it could be the first use of a living skin equivalent grafted onto a working robot. Beyond its realistic appearance, the finger is also water-repellent and self-healing which allows it to approximate the qualities of a human limb, the report in the science journal Matter noted. #humanoidrobot #medicalinnovation #biohacking #shorts
