Japan scientists make smiling robot with 'living skin’

Japanese scientists have attached living skin to robot faces to make them “smile”. The University of Tokyo published its findings in late June 2024, along with a video of the material being stretched into an unsettling grin. The biohybrid robot specialists hope the technology will one day play a role in the invention of androids with humanlike appearances and abilities. Researchers also hope to add more elements to the lab-grown skin for use in cosmetics and drug testing that are absorbed through the skin.

Overcoming uncanny valley by making robots literally resemble humans is certainly a line of thinking. A correct one prolly not

I need to disagree, I don't think awkward expressions or the material make human robots creepy... It is the mere concept that is creepy.

Why would I need my robot to smile at me or have human skin?

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

"making robots out of the exact same materials as human" this sounds concerning

[lukestarkiller]

Why do they need to give it nerves? Do they why want to make it feel pain? I’m so concerned by this
