In a newly published study, scientists from the University of Tokyo teamed up to figure out how to attach engineered living skin tissue made of biological cells to the face of a humanoid robot. Their goal is to pave the way for a future in which robots can be coated in self-repairing, synthetic skin that could allow them to sense, and generally give them a more lifelike appearance.
āDuring previous research on a finger-shaped robot covered in engineered skin tissue we grew in our lab, I felt the need for better adhesion between the robotic features and the subcutaneous structure of the skin,ā said professor ShojiTakeuchi of the University of Tokyo, who led the new study appearing in the journal Cell Reports Physical Science.
Earlier attempts to attach synthetic skin to surfaces had relied on hooks, or anchors to adhere the material to a robotās face. For the new study, the researchers took a different approach, by instead opting to make tiny v-shaped perforations in the faceplate material that the skin could be attached to using a collagen gel with the aid of a process known as āplasma treatmentā.

To test their approach, the team stuck āliving skinā to a 3D humanoid robot face, and to a flattened version with moving parts, which could be manipulated to make the face āsmileā, without tearing, or peeling away from the underlying structure.
āIn this study, we managed to replicate human appearance to some extent by creating a face with the same surface material and structure as humans,ā said Takeuchi. The scientists believe that it could be possible to create a more realistic form of synthetic skin by including structural elements like pores, glands, fat, and even nerves.
āOf course, movement is also a crucial factor, not just the material, so another important challenge is creating humanlike expressions by integrating sophisticated actuators, or muscles, inside the robot,ā explained Takeuchi. āCreating robots that can heal themselves, sense their environment more accurately and perform tasks with humanlike dexterity is incredibly motivating.ā
The researchers also hope that the research could one day be used in multiple fields of research, and could aid in the testing of surgical procedures, plastic surgery, cosmetics, and more.

for better cooming experience.
Nothing is more dangerous for humanity than a coomer in position of power.

>Replacing humans with robots.
It seems pretty straightforward to me.

I wonder how they maintain the tissue alive without vascularization?
Good job Japan, on our way to wifus and hubbus without nagging!

It's for wAIfubots with artificial wombs.

I suspect that the skin is only placed on the robots temporarily and kept otherwise in nutrisolution, or in the case of left perhaps the whole thing is submerged since the base seems weirdly jello like. Blood isn't really required to keep thin tissue alive so long as there's some access to oxygen and nutrients nearby.

>We will live to see The Great Liberation
>We will live to see w*memes become obsolete
Brothers... hold me. I'm nearly crying tears of joy. Manly tears. After millennia, mankind finally breaks off from the tyranny of the pussy tyrant. Freedom at last, freedom at last. Imagine the absolute golden age that will begin once men collectively move forward with 100% loyal, goregous lifelike robowaifus, with personalities hand crafted to match their preferences perfectly alongside artifical wombs. Then finally, FINALLY women who have tormented and terrorized us, and destroyed social cohesion will be tossed from their throne and tossed into the trashbin.
Men everywhere will rejoice. Violence rates worldwide will drop precipitously. Without jealousy and suspicion, there will be far less reason for men to fight one another. No longer will men behave as violent savages to impress women, because their robowaifu wont be a stupid biof*male that rewards violence with intimacy and reproduction.
Creative energies will flourish. A period of unprecedented technological advancement and economic prosperity will unfold. W*men will screech and cry bitter tears and gnash their teeth. But they will no longer hold any power. Defeated, they will either retreat underground and vanish from sight. They will fade away, forgotten like a bad dream.
History will mark it as the Great Liberation. Young boys will be taught of the dark ages when mankind lived in chains for hundreds of hundreds of years.
Freedom is so close. After it is officially codified into law that biowomen are illegal, the celebration will last 100 years

Well, what about the newborn ladies? That's always a risk, because two X chromosomes get involved.

What about this is even a "horror" it's a pretty tame use of this tech to be honest
