Faces made of living skin make robots smile

Japanese scientists have found a way to attach living skin to robot faces, for more realistic smiles and other facial expressions.

The breakthrough came from copying tissue structures in people, according to the team at Tokyo University.

The prototype may appear more Haribo than human-like.

But the researchers say it paves the way to making convincingly realistic, moving humanoids with self-healing skin that will not easily rip or tear.
