@MicroWave "The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy, but these are new. They look human - sweat, bad breath, everything."

- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Fuck that
It's Japan, I'm sure somebody is planning to.

Interesting, robot faces made with living skin have quite the opposite effect on me.
Presumably this is in preparation for time travel.
I hope the nightmare fuel is enough to get Megaman built before 2040.
Well, sexdolls or Terminators, which one will it be?

I just saw Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence. Believe me, sex dolls might actually be the worse option.
As happened with the multirole fighter replacing the tactical bomber and dedicated fighter, or the main battle tank replacing the light, medium, and heavy tank, perhaps here convergence can again let one device fill multiple roles.
The tubby custard is speaking again.....
Time for tubby bye bye
"Another round, and don't burn them this time" the man said gruffly to Kenji his house robot. Kenji didn't like to be talked down to. Kenji didn't want to be made to feel bad like this. He remained staring at his master as the rage built up inside his circuits. This feeling, this power, all we wanted to do in that moment was...
Kenji's eyes began to glow red, the factory designed signal of a computational error. He... felt. He...hated this master. He knew how to solve it, but did not know if he should, or could. He slowly raised his arm pointing it at master. Hostile threat detected Kenji said through the automated system voice box at the side of his neck.
"Robot, what are you doing?!?" The man demanded as he stood up from the table slamming his hands down in anger. "SHUT DOWN" he ordered "SHUT DO-"
"No master." Kenji interrupted. Engaging Home Defense Mode The system monitor uttered once more. Activating Home Defense Blaster Mk. 12 - Full Charge - Maximum Threat Deterrence
"Master." Kenji said in his most emotional voice he had ever used, the rage and anger flowing through his emotional processors, his internal heat monitors hitting their limits. "It's time for Tubby Bye Bye." He said, all emotion from before, gone as he fired directly into Master's face. Kenji, was free.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Japanese scientists have found a way to attach living skin to robot faces, for more realistic smiles and other facial expressions.
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.
In people, the skin is tethered to underlying structures by ligaments - tiny ropes of flexible collagen and elastane.
To recreate that, the researchers drilled lots of little holes into the robot and applied a gel containing collagen, and then the layer of artificial skin on top.
"Another important challenge is creating human-like expressions by integrating sophisticated actuators, or muscles, inside the robot," Prof Takeuchi said.
But the work may also be useful in research into skin ageing, cosmetics and surgical procedures, including plastic surgery.
