The “soft” human-like skin will pave the way to make “convincingly realistic” humanoids.
in Japan have created artificial skin by imitating human skin tissue for a more realistic look on robot faces.
They tried to attach small hooks as an anchor but as the robot moved, they noticed the skin sustaining damage.Later, they realised since human skin is tethered by “tethered to underlying structures by ligaments” they drilled small holes on the robot, applied gel with collagen on it and finally made another attempt in attaching the skin which then proved to be a success.
“The natural flexibility of the skin and the strong method of adhesion mean the skin can move with the mechanical components of the robot, without tearing or peeling away,” lead researcher Professor Shoji Takeuchi was quoted as saying.
