Title: Perforation-type anchors inspired by skin ligament for robotic face covered with living skin

Scientists are working on making robots look and feel more like humans by covering them with a special kind of artificial skin. This skin is made of living cells and can heal itself, just like real human skin. They’ve found a way to attach this skin to robots using tiny anchors that work like the connections in our own skin. They even made a robot face that can smile! This could help make AI companions feel more real and allow for physical touch. However, right now, it looks a bit creepy because it’s still in the early stages. As the technology improves, it might make robots seem more lifelike and friendly. This could be great for people who need companionship or care, but it also raises questions about how we’ll interact with robots in the future.

    I know that sounds like a clone. But in Bicentennial Man, the main character updates all of his parts until he is completely identical to a biological human, even experiencing human death.
