The somewhat sinister cyborg and cybernetics thread
Scientists make ‘slightly sweaty’ robot finger with living skin
Japanese innovation thought to have potential to ‘build a new relationship between humans and robots’
Japanese scientists have developed a “slightly sweaty” robotic finger covered in living skin in an advance they say brings truly human-like robots a step closer.
The finger, which was shown to be able to heal itself, is seen as an impressive technical feat that blurs the line between living flesh and machine. But scientists were divided on whether people would warm to its lifelike anatomy or find it creepy.
