Science goes too far: living skin robots
Now available with real LIVING, self-healing, human facial skin that smiles (Made in Japan)
I have been waiting for this development. Now I can kiss and feel like a human doll.

Japanese scientists make a robot face with living skin that can smile
AI sexbot dolls are already for sale.
(ABC News) Scientists in Japan have made a robot face covered in living, self-healing skin that can smile in a demonstration of a new technique researchers believe could help pave the way for lifelike biohybrid [line of sexbots and] humanoid robots in the future.
[The real concern is that any technology that gets publicly disclosed is usually about 50 years old before we are told about it. The military (DARPA, Pentagon, CIA, NSA, NSC, Apple, Meta, Google, Alphabet, Elon Musk's Tesla/X, Jeff Bezos' Amazon, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, etc.) will have already exploited it, as with many features built into iPhones such as audiovisual spying, directional motion detection, and detection of other nearby technology such as other phones. So it seems likely that there are already independently operating, artificially intelligent automatons and androids in the population along with body-doubles and killbots. Will these sexbot-robots now technically count as "skin-walkers"?]
Will women buy robotic phalluses on AI bots?
The scientists, led by Prof. Shoji Takeuchi at the Univ. of Tokyo’s Biohybrid Systems Lab, attached cultured skin to a 3D facial mold using perforation-type anchors, which mimic the natural structure of human skin ligaments.
“The ultimate aim of this project is to create robots with fully-functional, lifelike skin that can heal itself, sense its surroundings, and perform tasks that closely mimic human behavior,” Prof. Takeuchi told ABC News.
Want to go out on a date? - I have kung fu grip. - I'll take that as a yes. - I charge. - OK.
Will men pay for robotic... Never mind. Of course they will. They already buy plastic dolls.
A video demonstration shows a circular piece of cultured living skin, anchored over a 3D facial mold being stretched from a blank facial expression to a smile.
In addition, the team also covered a robotic finger in the skin and were able to make it bend and even flick small objects with fluid motion.
The anchors developed by the team mean the robots external appearance is not compromised by having protruding skin anchors, which can also damage the skin during movement.
Can scientists create realistic looking Johns, too? - It's already been done.

The researchers say that one of the key advantages of a robot having living skin is its capacity to self-heal, rather than requiring repair every time it is scratched or damaged.
The [publicly disclosed] technology is still in its infancy, however. This means that it will likely be a long time before Terminator-style living-skin-covered robots are an everyday occurrence [even if test versions have secretly been out and about for a long time during the development].
In order for the skin to stay on a robot long-term, scientists would need to integrate other biological systems, such as nerves, muscles, and sensory organs into it [maybe a transplanted brain from a nonconsenting homeless donor].

In a clip filmed by ALF (the Animal Liberation Front) seen in the antivivisectionist documentary Slaughter of the Innocent, animal activists broke into the corporate headquarters of the "City of Hope" in Duarte, California (a suburb of Los Angeles in the San Gabriel Valley with the downtown skyline in view to the southwest). They were there to liberate animals being tortured by scientists, who were giving the animals, many of them dogs and puppies, cancerous tumors then testing allopathic chemicals on them as treatments in search of marketable synthetic medicines for profit. As if this were not shocking enough, the activists entered a walk-in freezer in one lab and pulled out large plastic bags.
Emptying them out on the ground, they found human body parts with no explanation. It was easy to conclude that human experiments were also being done in secret, experimenting on human being then "sacrificing" (a euphemism for executing an experimental subject at the end of an experiment) them and examining their cadavers.
The Campaign Against Sex Robots
Had these been the donated corpses of volunteers who left their bodies to science, as one would love to believe, their amputated body parts would not have hastily been tossed into trash bags and deposited in walk-in freezers without labels, tags, or accompanying documentation. It seems clear from the footage that "mad" scientists were just free to acquire, mutilate, and experiment on all mammals, humans being no exception, in their blind ambition for capitalist medicine and its advancement at all costs. The goal, after all, is not to cure cancer or other diseases, but only to treat them for profit for as many years as can be managed before patients die of other causes. like fictional Hannibal Lecter, did these scientists begin their experiments by attempting "face transplants" from living subject to artificial robots? And that failed so they cultured cells instead?]
“Developing a method to incorporate blood vessels or an alternative nutrient supply system remains one of the key challenges we are working on to extend the skin's viability outside controlled environments,” Scientist Takeuchi said. More + VIDEO:
