Robots of the future could be wrapped in lifelike skin that can repair itself, in a similar way to the way human skin heals, thanks to a novel approach involving cultured skin cells.

In the new study, researchers pioneered a method whereby the robot's skeleton contains tiny holes into which the artificially grown skin can extend v-shaped hooks known as"perforation-type anchors". These keep the artificial skin stuck to the robot while maintaining a smooth and flexible surface.

Small tears or similar defacements could be repaired without needing to manually repair the robots, the team said. They did not, however, measure how quickly the artificial skin healed after sustaining damage.

The path to building humanlike androidsShoji Takeuchi, a researcher on the study at the Institute of Industrial Science , the University of Tokyo, told Live Science several steps will still need to be taken before robots are likely to be wearing skin using the team’s methods.
