It’s not just nuts and bolts keeping robots together \u2014 now they can be made with living skin. Skin that can be made to smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Researchers at the University of Tokyo revealed<\/a> on Tuesday a rather unsettling humanoid robot covered with lab-grown skin. The team said it was able to mimic human skin ligaments by bonding skin tissue to perforated 3D facial molds and 2D robots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A press release said the team hoped the advancement would be “useful in the cosmetics industry and to help train plastic surgeons.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the development could prove helpful, some people online reacted to the robot’s fleshy skin and facial movements with jokes or said they found it disturbing. One person on X wrote<\/a>, “You will live to see man-made made horrors beyond your comprehension.” Another said<\/a>: “We don’t want this. Nobody wants this. Stop it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers said that, unlike other materials, biological skin granted these robots self-healing capabilities without requiring triggers such as heat or pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
