"This is a critical step toward mimicking human skin, which has multiple layers that all re-assemble correctly during the healing process." Armoring an artificial intelligence-powered robot with ...

Under normal circumstances, your skin cells will not just start to invade the hypodermis and wreak havoc. Instead, they will produce a new layer of skin.

According to Takeuchi, the "skin" is 1.5 mm in thickness (or 0.06 inches) and made only of epidermis and dermis — the top two layers of skin in the human body.

Skin cells are produced on subcutaneous tissue made of collagen. This makes the cells grow in layers, just like real human skin.

The skin is the largest organ in the human body. It makes up around 15 percent of our body weight and protects us from pathogens, dehydration and temperature extremes.

Instead of using real human test subjects, experimenters could grow artificial skin layers from real cells. Beyond improving robotic interfaces, the research team believes their technique could ...
