TOKYO, Japan (WKRC) - Researchers have created a robotic, "living skin" that can adhere to any surface and heal itself. Unfortunately, it looks terrifying. “During previous research on a finger-shaped robot covered in engineered skin tissue we grew in ...

Scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have created organic robots that are powered by 3D-printed muscle cells and controlled with electrical pulses. These “bio-robots” are the beginning of a new form of robotics, meshing organic ...

Robots that mimic humans are set to create a $5 trillion market. But it will take years and a lot of improvements to get there.

Engineers building robots have long taken their cues from the animal kingdom, but a team from Cornell University is turning to a different taxonomic kingdom: fungi. The researchers allowed mushrooms to grow and interact with the electronics of a robot ...
