ALBAWABA - A method has been developed by Japanese researchers at Tokyo University to affix live human skin on robotic faces, enabling more lifelike smiles along with various realistic facial movements, saying that their accomplishment was made possible by accurately replicating human tissue architecture. This is because the robot's resin foundation is punctured during their development, allowing live tissue to be injected into tiny v-shaped spaces. Takeuchi adds on the future of the technology that “another important challenge is creating human-like expressions by integrating sophisticated actuators, or muscles, inside the robot,” believing that the initiative could help skin aging, cosmetics, and surgery studies.
