Japanese scientists have engineered lab-grown skin from real human cells and applied it to robots—granting them the ability to mimic human facial expressions like smiling, and even heal wounds just like living tissue.
The artificial skin, made of collagen and dermal fibroblasts, can stretch and repair itself when damaged. It attaches seamlessly to robot faces using special 3D-printed anchors, allowing dynamic movement and more lifelike interactions.

Future Applications
From advanced humanoid robots to future skin grafts and prosthetics, this innovation could revolutionize not only robotics but also reconstructive and cosmetic medicine.
