Japanese scientists have devised a groundbreaking method to attach lab-grown living human skin tissue to robotic faces, enabling them to 'smile.' This breakthrough, led by Professor Shoji Takeuchi at the University of Tokyo, holds promise for applications in cosmetics and medicine. The researchers successfully manipulated living skin using actuators and anchors, making it possible for the robotic faces to exhibit human-like expressions.
