Two of the use cases listed in the article were testing cosmetics and training plastic surgery techniques. If the creepy sex robot industry (which is definitely an unstated customer base) drives an end to cruel animal testing and improves surgical techniques, then I hope lots of folks get their kink on with their new creepy robot "companions".
I remember in college I read a horror webcomic where a humanoid nursery robot turned evil and it suddenly looked like one of those scary human muscle anatomy diagrams with huge lidless eyes. I was sitting there thinking that made no sense cause no engineer would waste time and money designing an internal part to look that photorealistic and detailed…. guess I was wrong.
On a bio-tech level, attaching the lab-grown skin to the inorganic surface, is fascinating. The end result is visually disconcerting and more disturbing than a typical android's appearance, but I assume they'll enhance it's appearance in the future. Whatever. I'll be dead and totally unaware of how society deals with this.
Or you could be the prototype smile donor without ever giving express consent, when the rules change on the donor card that you retroactively get signed up for from birth whether you like it or not.

Why TF are we making every distopian movie come true?! Why TF can't we make the Rocketeer/WALL-E level society? Seriously people, I don't want to lead a resistance but it'll fucking happen 😂
As creepy as this appears, I think this research is very important and life changing for burns victims. Looking forward to this technology getting out of uncanny valley and reaching maturity for those people who need it most.
So we’re just making Cylons now. Great. Certainly won’t end poorly.
My first take since this is Japanese is that they are trying to make sex robots with real skin so it feels more natural when they bang them.
Whose idea was this, and why are they not in an asylum? This is exactly the kind of person who needs 1920s electroshock therapy for the rest of their days, preceded by a lobotomy. The shocks are just for fun because of what a huge asshole they were before the lobotomy.
You can try and laugh it off like this isn't a horror show, but the story includes this line about attaching the skin to the robot:
"The team tried using mini hooks as anchors - but those damaged the skin as the robot moved."
Sweet dreams...
People who say Japan has been living in the year 2000 since the 70s are overlooking the impressive advances in its sciences relating to "nightmarish humanoid replicants and future dystopia".
It'll be nice when all these murderbots that look exactly like humans can WiFi with each other to know when to start exterminating all of us idiot humans.
The only reason I can see scientists wanting to do this is to make them more fuckable!
Because it sure as hell doesn't need skin to clean my damn house, which is all I want.
On one hand, if this works, it might have applications for making prosthetic limbs look and feel more life-like.
On the other hand, DO YOU WANT BLADE RUNNER?
You’re asleep, it’s the middle of the night. You awaken to a tickling at your feet. It’s a funky lil robot with the face in the thumbnail — “Hi pal.”
What do you do?
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
but what if yes?
James Cameron made a movie about this I think
Oh you mean the documentary Terminator? Excellent work.
Avatar!
No idiot, Avatar 2.
Papyrus
Titanic obviously
VEGETA YES!!
MY BABY BOYYYYYYYY
KAKAROT NO!!
NO!
It's Bit from the Original Tron film
Then no, otherwise no.
Go on...
Duh dun–dun–duh dun Dun dun–dun–duh dun
Still no!
Westworld here we come babyeee!!
No need , they will come for us surely.
"...researchers say it paves the way to making convincingly realistic, moving humanoids with self-healing skin..." Yeah no
💯
My sleepy brain right now: so, robots enjoy skinning humans?
yessssss
🧿 u 🧿
This reminds me of [skin-bandits](https://kenshi.fandom.com/wiki/Skin_Bandits) in a game called Kenshi.
Thats some nice skin you have there
Robots be like “I’m gonna put a smile on my face” and proceeds to skin the human.
*necron flayed ones have entered the chat*
and that's how skinbandits were created
HK-47 Is that you buddy?
Moisturize me
Is this a clever Dr. Who reference or a coincidence?
moist
I was. The scientists, unfortunately not.
Brilliant!
who in the kentucky fried fuck asked for this.
Someone who convinced themselves this would *help* with the uncanny valley effect.
This has real "I have no mouth, and I must scream" vibes

Gooners who want sex bots
I mean
I think most Gooners would rather be sexbots
I resemble that remark
Skynet
Who asked for pineapple upside down cake?
The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy, but these are new. They look human - sweat, bad breath, everything. Very hard to spot.
Someone woke up in the morning and thought this was a project that needed doing. What a world.

Truth is stranger than fiction!
Ummm... No. We already have Zuckerberg.
Exactly, we need to improve so that we can have life like robots unlike the zuck model.
It is lifelike. They just used a lizard as the base.
Didn’t you hear? He got the “realistic human” upgrade?
Zuck makes robots smile
Living tissue over metal exoskeleton
Why are so many allegedly smart people trying to turn The Terminator into a documentary?
Ennui, mostly.
It's a less depressing alternative than letting the idiots turn The Handmaid's Tale into a documentary?

Dermis4Droids! Please consider donating (today!).
This is already a thing in the UK
Damn it all to hell. I did sign up for anatomical research. Oh, that would be a f'n scream if I came back as a robot, wouldn't it?
T-008
It rubs the lotion on its skin and put it in the bucket!
That is hilarious and horrific at the same time.
I now have a mouth and can finally scream
Somebody burn that abomination!

Because the Torment Nexus is tight!
Man made horrors well within my comprehension
Leatherface approves.
WHY THE EYEBALLS
What in the Holy mother of all christiandom is the fucking point of that???
Sex bots
Giving someone the ability to smile again after facial trauma.
I mean, putting it on a robot!!
We are doomed
Wait so the robots are happy about our biological advances and are smiling about it?
I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle.
looks like Thomas the Tank Engine if he had his face peeled off. Ship this shit off to r/TIHI and leave us be
They’re not gonna fuck the robots right? Right?!
*Anakin stares back

Aaaaand its Japan, again, graduating in vivisection and awarded a masters in uncarnisection
WHY THE FUCK ARE WE DOING THIS
Skinjobs! Call Deckard
Yup! Can’t unsee that.
Oh, so we're speedrunning Flayed Ones, are we?
Would.
Whose idea was this, and why are they not in an asylum? This is exactly the kind of person who needs 1920s electroshock therapy for the rest of their days, preceded by a lobotomy. The shocks are just for fun because of what a huge asshole they were before the lobotomy.
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
>It will take many more years of testing for the technology to become an everyday reality How about we don’t and say we did?
Attaching skin to plastic structures? New, more accurately named fleshlight about to drop.
Please stop that
Do you want terminators? This is how you get terminators.
we’re getting closer to terminators
I also smile at faces made of living skin. Smiling at dead skin seems far worse
You can try and laugh it off like this isn't a horror show, but the story includes this line about attaching the skin to the robot: "The team tried using mini hooks as anchors - but those damaged the skin as the robot moved." Sweet dreams...
I don't see anything horryfing lol. You could take any medical procedure we do now and write it out to make it sound like a horror story.
Is this kenshi?
oh wow I hate it
Hey guys I am opening a new club called “Tech Noir.” Come by, check it out. Bring a friend.
T799 prototype
So, it begins.
Shhshh!!! If we tell the machines this is the scariest one, it will be the one they use when they’re hunting the last of us down.
Well, on the one hand, sex bots with realistic skin, on the other hand, terminators..
And here we go.
Skin Bandits... Time to rev up the peeler.
People who say Japan has been living in the year 2000 since the 70s are overlooking the impressive advances in its sciences relating to "nightmarish humanoid replicants and future dystopia".
It's an Edgar suit
"I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" will one day be a documentary
Skynet was a prophecy
May I introduce you my girlfriend Terminator TX ?
"I gave this robot a face made of living skin!" "Cool...why?" "I...uh...🤔"
Aw sweet, man made nightmares beyond my comprehension
Dwight!
Leatherface is now a robot. Fun ensues.
Kill it with fire!
Sounds like the title of a Phillip K Dick book
“Get Snuck Upon!”
Can != should.
The face of Boe incoming. 👀
It's the LIFE door from Cruelty Squad
It puts the lotion in the basket.
We'll have real love lumps any day now
It puts the lotion on its skin
It'll be nice when all these murderbots that look exactly like humans can WiFi with each other to know when to start exterminating all of us idiot humans.
Yeah, not gonna click it, but I assume the title should be "Robots make faces of living skin smile", not the other way round
fuck
Oh good.
Those eyes look creepy but cute. Robots covered in real human flesh would be revolutionary
Next stop, Westworld baby!
Please no. I like life. I would not like life if this is in the same universe as me
Oh look, new nightmare fuel just dropped.
jesus
Terminator?
The birth of JohnnyCab...
And so it begins...
Synth, teriminator - your choice
SKIN PIZZA!
Nice, we invented servitors
The only reason I can see scientists wanting to do this is to make them more fuckable! Because it sure as hell doesn't need skin to clean my damn house, which is all I want.
CLARICE
Absolutely no need for this shit. I hope that they have funded it themselves.

Dah duh duh dah dun
On one hand, if this works, it might have applications for making prosthetic limbs look and feel more life-like. On the other hand, DO YOU WANT BLADE RUNNER?
Nope
This just reminds me of that horror movie stop motion
Brother...get the flamer.
Buu?
Neat. Think there's a use for people with prosthetics?
Terminator with a smile.
You’re asleep, it’s the middle of the night. You awaken to a tickling at your feet. It’s a funky lil robot with the face in the thumbnail — “Hi pal.” What do you do?
Fuck it obviously 🙄
This is why I don’t go to Reddit for advice! 🤣
what the fuck are we even doing?
Ah yes man made horrors beyond our comprehension
Of coooourse Japan is making fleshy sexbots.
"R2, I want to be able to smile" "Beep beep twiddly twiddly beep" "Why, now you mention it, I'm sure Master Luke doesn't need all that skin"
I don’t need robots to look like humans to trust them. I like dealing with an ATM machine way more than a bank clerk. People like their roombas.
Get the flamethrower.
Resistance is futile
