The macabre-sounding 3D-printable 'eFlesh' has a very practical purpose – to help robotic sensors and grips work well with a wide range of objects in unstructured environments, and due to the work and generosity of researchers, you can download and print the material yourself. A group of New York University scientists has showcased eFlesh in compelling action - responding to tactility, and firmly but gently gripping and manipulating objects like (presumably uncooked) eggs, USB devices, and fluffy plushies. Generously, the scientists have even shared fabrication details, 3D files, trained models, and code so you can make your own eFlesh devices.
