Robots are about to get a realistic facelift — using laboratory grown human skin cells.
The team behind it believe it could lead to better human-robot interactions.
And there could also be a spin-off for plastic surgery.
A team at Japan’s University of The Tokyo grew a mix of human skin cells on a collagen base, before placing it on a 3D-printed mould.
The skin boasted tiny built-in anchors, inspired by human ligaments, that keep it anchored to the robot surface as well as making it flexible and preventing tears as a robot moves.
Tokyo professor Shoji Takeuchi said while the process has captured the basic look of human skin, there is more work to be done.
Future iterations might include wrinkles, a thicker layer of skin, and even sweat glands and nerves.
The skin may even be able to heal itself like a real human epidermis.
The scientists are also working on sophisticated artificial muscles known as actuators, allowing for more lifelike expressions.
OPS:The new method can work on complex, curved, and even moving surfaces.

OPS:The new anchoring method allows flexible skin tissue to conform to any shape it’s attached to. In this case, a relatively flat robotic face (left) is made to smile (right) . The skin deforms without constraining the robot, returning to its original shape afterwards.
