JAPANESE scientists have devised a way to attach living skin tissue to robotic faces and make them “smile”, in a breakthrough that holds out promise of applications in cosmetics and medicine.
Researchers at the University of Tokyo grew human skin cells in the shape of a face and pulled it into a wide grin, using embedded ligament-like attachments.
