Japanese scientists at the University of Tokyo have successfully attached living skin tissue to robotic faces and made them "smile," marking a significant advancement in creating more life-like robots.
This innovation could have wide-ranging applications in robotics, cosmetics, and medicine, offering benefits such as self-repairing skin and more efficient energy use compared to metals and plastics.
Researchers plan to add more complex elements to the lab-grown skin, including a circulatory system and nerves, which could enhance testing methods for cosmetics and drugs and improve the realism and functionality of robotic coverings.
