The researchers aimed to see if they could create a skin equivalent for robots that mimics human skin's functionalities, exploring attachment to artificial substrates.
A 3D facial mold was successfully covered with 'skin' using collagen gel and perforation-type anchors to mimic the attachment of biological skin to underlying tissue.
The cultured skin for robots showed self-healing capabilities like biological skin but requires careful maintenance to prevent minor damages from escalating into impairments.
The research pioneers in introducing a new method of adhering living skin equivalents with perforation-type anchors onto robotics, exploring the potential for biological functionalities.
