Scientists Create Humanoid Robot With ‘Living’ Skin That Can Smile
Japanese researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed MenuMenu, a humanoid robot with "living" synthetic skin. Led by Professor Shoji Takeuchi, the team created skin that mimics human tissue, enabling MenuMenu to smile and show emotions realistically. This innovation blends biology with mechanical engineering, ensuring the skin fits seamlessly on the robot without tearing. Future goals include adding features like sweat glands and nerves for a more human-like texture and function. This advancement signifies progress towards lifelike robots capable of realistic interactions and sensory perception.
