Jun 26, 2024, 07:00 AM

Scientists in Japan have developed a humanoid robot with a face made of living human skin cells. This breakthrough aims to create more human-like cyborgs by mimicking the texture and resilience of human skin. The lab-grown skin is capable of self-healing and allows the robot to display realistic facial expressions, such as smiling and frowning. The research, conducted by a team at the University of Tokyo, involves copying tissue structures found in humans. This innovation could significantly enhance human-robot interactions in the future.
