The New Scientist posted a freaky video on Twitter showing an experimental face intended for a robot made from living human skin cells, that is capable of smiling.
“A
technique for attaching a skin made from living human cells to a
robotic framework could give robots the ability to emote and communicate

tweet stated.
The New Scientist article continued: “The team put
the skin on a smiling robotic face, a few centimetres wide, which is

Commenting on the News Scientist’s video and article Modernity News noted the following. The
New Scientist writes “A smiling face made from living human skin could

communicate in a more life-like way, say researchers.”
What
researchers are saying this now? Was Dr. Evil not available for comment?
