Japan: Faces made of living skin make robots smile
bbc.com
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.

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.
