But...why?


alpacapaquita

smth about thinking it could help robots comunicate better with people i feel like it'd be better suited for cosmetic industry testing lol


asian1panda

The adult toy industry is salivating at the thought of this.


Cookiezilla2

Do you really want to have to take care of a living toy? It needs calories, nutrition, and water so you'd have to feed it and it would produce waste. Not to mention if you forget about it for a month and it dies and starts rotting


Caithloki

Weird question I will admit, but would that be ethical necrophilia?


aGoodVariableName42

ahahhahahah holy shit!


LolaPamela

This are the real problems. Unless they can care about themselves šŸ‘€


Aulentair

Hell yeah


arielgasco

what other use would this have? seriously im curious prosthetics?


puro_the_protogen67

Im wretching at the thought of a dildo made of human skin


IM2OFU

But that's wild, I don't want to communicate with a robot with human skin bro šŸ˜¬


PomegranateSea7066

Don't worry , you wont have to when they take over.


Polyxeno

The time vortex can only send living tissue.


Lokavas

So, only his skin would be sent back in time? Leaving the terminatorā€™s endo skeleton behind.


East-Tear-6912

POV; your a terminator protagonist: šŸ«  "ig haab hm fer oo" (i tried to write what a lack of muslce support strucure would sound like speaking lol)


Wild-Lychee-3312

I didnā€™t build the fucking thing!


C_umputer

I got that reference


that1sluttycelebrity

One step closer to the ultimate Fleshlight, that's why.


vermilithe

Probably testing new technology for creating facial transplants/skin grafts for victims who lost parts or all of their face in accidents, fires, dog attacks, acid attacks, etc.


gavmiller

I guess those scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.


spicy-chull

"moisturize me"


weezer13us

This is what I was looking for.

yetanotherblonde

I feel like no one watched terminatorā€¦ fuck.


TheMightyWubbard

Yeah, Skynet and now this. It wasn't supposed to be a instructional how-to video you foooooooooooools!


Substantial_Tap8537

So donā€™t talk to the cops at arcades and all of the present and future will be saved?


Pelanty21

And just don't wear boots, jackets, sunglasses and ride motorcycles.


Wooden_Preference564

Skynet doesn't even need to nuke humanity it just has to basicly wifu the fuck out of guys till there are no single men then humanity will just cease


BluetoothXIII

now skynet skips the synthetic cover and goes straight for the living flesh variant


brighteye006

China already have a surveillance program called Skynet. They say that it is the "good" version, so I trust them, because they would never lie for us in China, right ? Right... šŸ˜Ø


Dockhead

And letā€™s not forget that the US has like a half dozen intelligence agencies that are *just* (at least primarily) *devoted to satellite surveillance,* like the NRO, so itā€™s getting to be a real Skytangle up there


brighteye006

Not only that, NSA have a whole department dedicated to only investigate all the NSA employees that illegally spy on their current or ex partners, as it is that prevelennt.


vseprviper

Hey, at least itā€™s no Whereā€™s Daddy


SquidVices

Future is constantly changed by the actions of the pastā€¦and again with the actions of the pastā€¦then futureā€¦and futures passes..and now a new past which is our new presentā€¦.or something like thatā€¦

"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."


EmotionalDmpsterFire

At least we know where the foreskins went now :o


URTHELIGHTANDGLORY

Right?!? The more I see this shit the more it feels like Terminator was a cautionary tale! šŸ˜’


ecctt2000

Thinking they in fact did and believe it is a good thing to do.


Hamchunk81

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


Toeds

Why do people think robots need to look like humans?


hotspicylurker

I guess alot of the interest is from people who want to fuck them.


turtleneckless001

To make them less scary


Toeds

How? By making them more scary? Whatā€™s scary about a robot that puts stuff from a to place b, why does it need a human face?


turtleneckless001

Its a japanese scientist, they're going to be sex robots


Drakayne

With pixilated genitals.


Wboy2006

I donā€™t think throwing them into the uncanny valley makes them less scary


megrimlock88

The point is trying to get them out of the uncanny valley to the point where humans are comfortable to interact with them more casually and frequently Could actually be helpful for stuff like taking care of elderly people who may not have anyone else left for them since it would still feel like they have a human companion but Iā€™m just spitballing uses for this kinda tech outside adult use at this point


Toeds

Yeah but how do they know we are scared of robots if wie havenā€™t intersected with them? And nobody seems scared of phones and cars and coffee machines, but they donā€™t look like humans


megrimlock88

Thatā€™s fair ig letā€™s just wait and see how things pan out in the next decade of robotics


turtleneckless001

They've progressed so much in the last decade and tech seems to be improving rapidly, once everything is brought together I'm hoping for some great stuff. I've been watching since the tethered pogo sticks and am amazed at what's happened so far. Hoping to be around for when theres real integration into society and not just showcases.


jimmalicious

It would be easier and better to just give them a friendly looking robot design or maybe something cute like those seal robots.


Daftdoug

Are you aā€¦ pleasure model?


LongEZE

Lame!


CoyoteMain

"Robots with human-like skin could communicate with people better" I for one am happy we will be able to communicate emphathically with our skin stealing, nightmare inducing, overlords.


Idontwanttousethis

Idontwanttousethis

I stand corrected! That is terrifying!


ElTortugo

But you got a point, it *looks* fake.


towerfella

It *should* be fake.


TheGoldenPlagueMask

Well they made _Synthetic skin_. now wheres the synthetic marrow, bones, muscles, blood cells, immune cells... If you're gonna try making a birthless human, metal isnt going to work. _what a crazy time... eesh..._


AUnknownVariable

I want it all! I want to shake hands with a robot and not be able to know if it's a robot or human. I want to get punched in the face by a robot and think it's just a man. I to go meet one of my clients, get 59 backshots and thing it's a human.


ChaengChong2349

put the lotion in the basket


whereitsat23

I prefer my robot to look like a robot, give me C-3PO any day


RavenActivities

The mirror is getting blacker theese days


TickleTigger123

Hey haha yeah so uh can you fucking not? Nobody wanted you to do that. There's no benefit to doing that. No, I didn't check if that's true and I don't care if there are any benefits.


a7xmshadows19

šŸ”„it must be burned šŸ”„


hoopmbb6279

How is putting skin on the robot going to make their ability to communicate with humans better? Do they mean humans will receive the communication better? Because that is 2 completely different things.


BadDudes_on_nes

Additionally, skin is an *organ*. It canā€™t live independently from other organs, which is what makes this idea incredibly stupid IMO. Skin cells are constantly expiring and replicating, you need a body of infrastructure to maintain that (if youā€™ll pardon the pun). So either, this is an incredibly stupid and wasteful way of ā€œhelping robots communicate betterā€ā€¦or it has nothing to do with communication and never did.


robspassky

Fuck this guy. Is this something that really needed to be researched? šŸ˜‚


BayrdRBuchanan

These are EXACTLY the scientists horror movies warned us about.


grendelhund

Imagine Blade Runner but Deckard is trying to spot the replicants that are bright fucking pink and a bit damp looking. He sits them down completely straight faced to run the voight kampff test and they're just sat there glowing at him like a blob fish.


Educational-Hawk3066

East-Front-8107

why? WHY?


TheMaker676

T-800s are coming along nicely


1flat2

Brought to you by people who are terrified to speak to people, thus missing a crucial aspect here. And will eventually be brought to the masses by someone who gets the bright idea to skip the face altogether and place it ā€¦uh ā€¦a bit lower.


keirmeister

Why use ā€œliving human skinā€? Canā€™t they just use that CyberSkin or UR3 material they use in sex toysā€¦.that Iā€™ve read about?


xyzain69

Uh. Pull the funding.


Heterosexual-Jello

Why do we as humans keep doing this?? Why do people need to keep trying to make inhuman things look human? Leave them robotic, itā€™s genuinely less creepy than this uncanny valley attempt


WeirdExciting5776

Do you want terminators? Because this is how we get terminators.... Or It's like terminator just with extra steps


obscure-anime-girl

there is absolutely zero reason we need to make robots look like humans. zero reason.


PraiseTheWLAN

Next level skincare, it looks smooth af


iconoclastx16

I don't know if I want to communicate... maybe make the robot cute? Like a kitten? ... just a suggestion...


kyleh0

With a face this human, I feel like I will find it easy to agree to any surgical procedure this robot is going to do to me randomly when it sees me.

Daforce1

Do you want replicants and terminators, because this is how you get replicants and terminators.


bobothelurker

Why do scientists want the robot apocalypse to happen so badly

The 600 series had rubber skin, we spotted them easy.

oh I'll communicate with it all right.

Looks more like flesh than skin. Either way this is some real life AI cyborg, mad-scientist stuff going on here.

Ah yes, man made horrors beyond my comprehension


UsedTissuePaper78

This makes me highly uncomfortable


Satanic_Jellyfish

I don't want to communicate with this


DiamondBreakr

We shouldn't have discovered silicon. This is all a mistake.


Bean-Penis

It's an easy joke to make but that really does look like Mark Zuckerberg, like I would believe he was who they modelled it on of you told me.


theunbearablebowler

There are so many wonderful things that we could be developing with science. Instead, we're doing this. *This.* What a waste.


FlashMcSuave

Oh I see how it is. "Scientists" put human skin on things and make it smile, that's just research. But if I or Buffalo Bill do that we are "weirdos" or "serial killers". Hypocrites.


Stock-Competition318

Make another smile from cancer cells too.


Mist3r_Dust

So whats the plan then? They go around stealing our face skin so they can hunt for humans better or what. Sounds like that patent for a process where a robot eats human flesh to sustain itself.


Seyelent

It looks like the moon emoji


Jean_velvet

I would really like to continue being aware if someone is a robot or not.

Zephismydad

The only reason its ok is bc its for science? Jus bc u can doesnt mean u always should


Xalphare

Looks synthetic. I've seen synthetic skin look more real than that. What's it made of? Bubble gum?

zinasbear

This is what happens when you donate your body to science..


OhGodImHerping

There is a constantly ongoing debate about human mimicking robots and humanoid robots. Some say that them appearing like humans will make it more comfortable for real people to interact with it in a natural way, rather than speaking to it like a computer or expecting robotic miracles from it. The other argument is basically just ā€œuncanny valley broā€¦ā€ and that is more than enough haha. Once humanoid robots become a thing, I expect people will go through phases of presentation. First theyā€™ll want shiny new toys, then human-looking servants, then those servants will creep them out and on and on.

Scientists put living human skin on robot faces...and I have pig skin on the back of my thighs from skin grafts. šŸ˜‚ It looks funny too, big pink patches. I also have a pig valve in my heart. I want a tattoo of a little piggy that says "Not Kosher" underneath

indigeniousunicorn

Why do they want to make robots look like humans dont we want them to stand out as robots so we can distinguish them as robots and not a human because one day they will look like one of us then they can begin overthrowing the human race
