Skin, it does a robot good

Passion 09-20-2006

Hang on to your jimmy hats kids, human skin for robots has just been created in a lab somewhere in Japan, of course. Ok, it's not real skin, rather, a 1-cm thick film of elastic silicone covered by a 0.2-mm thick textured layer of firm urethane -- a dermis and epidermis, if you will -- which 10 out of 12 lonely robotics professors swear feels like the real deal. The artificial skin was developed primarily for cosmetics testing in a partnership 'tween Kao Corporation and a research team from Keio University led by Takashi Maeno. Yeah, right, cosmetics. With work already underway to make robots detect their owner's sweat and racing pulse, well, we think it's pretty clear where this is all going, eh?

Now thats a cool invention however its a crazy idea. Waste of money too!

And this idea is only going to be used for one thing and one thing only, and it sure isn't cosmetics.

I don't know which invention is worse the fleshy vagina that looks like a flashlight and supposedly feels like the real thing, or this! )
