They hope the tech will help in the invention of androids with human-like appearances and abilities.
TOKYO – Japanese scientists have used human cells to develop an equivalent to living skin that can be attached to robotic surfaces to flash a realistic – if creepy – smile.
They used a “skin-forming cell-laden gel” to create a “robot covered with living skin”, their study in the journal Cell Reports Physical Science said. “We also hope this will help shed better light on wrinkle formation and the physiology of facial expressions,” and help to develop transplant materials and cosmetics, the team led by Professor Shoji Takeuchi said.
