It seems every day there’s a new development in the world of robotics that brings the machines closer to humans. Personally, I think our days are numbered as humans and have thought so since I saw Spike Jonze’s Her. According to a recent Medgadget article, the latest human-like feature for robots is living “skin.” Developed at the University of Tokyo, the living coating for robotic parts is flexible enough to allow full finger flexing mobility, repels water, and can even self-heal when damaged.
