Abstract

Robotics offers an unprecedented means to support people's daily lives. However, human-robot interactions remain challenging because of the appearance of robots. Kawai et al. propose to overcome this by growing biological skin equivalents on robots. Their study opens new possibilities to further humanize perception of robots and improve human-robot interactions.

Keywords: biohybrid robotics; human–robot interaction; skin equivalent.
