Extended Data Fig. 7: Strategy to fabricate the mycelium-based skin for the robotic gripper.
From: Three-dimensional printing of mycelium hydrogels into living complex materials
From left to right: non-planar 3D printed half of the robotic skin after 7 days of growth. Counterpart flipped to show the bottom side of the printed structure. The two halves put together ready to mount onto the mechanical actuators. Final mycelium-based skin assembled around the gripper after an additional 3 days of growth to fuse the individual parts together.
