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.

    Of course it’s fucking Japan. Man we never should have nuked that place. I mean sure we got Godzilla out of it, but they’re frickin obsessed with nightmarish, uncanny better robots.
