Scientists at the University of Tokyo (Japan) have grown skin for the “face” of a humanoid robot. The study was described in the journal Cell.

The specialists’ goal was to create an analogue of skin for the “face” of a humanoid robot, which could convey facial expressions and not peel off. The result of the work was artificial skin based on living human cells.

Using collagen and elastin, engineers were able to imitate the ligaments of human skin - they created miniature connective tissues that held the material to a solid surface. "The skin's natural flexibility and strong adhesive method mean it can move with the robot's mechanical components without tearing or peeling," said lead study author Shoji Takeuchi.
