The humanoid robot with highly expressive facial features is developed by Liu Xiaofeng, a professor at Hohai University in east China’s Jiangsu Province, and his research team.

“Then the robot knows, OK, if I want to make a smiley face, I should actuate these ‘muscles,’” Hu says. Next, the researchers played videos of humans making facial expressions.

A smiling face made from living human skin could one day be attached to a humanoid robot, allowing machines to emote and communicate in a more life-like way, say researchers. Its wrinkles could ...

Tesla is developing its Optimus robot, which CEO Elon Musk hopes people will regard "as sort of a friend." Other bots operate on all fours, like Boston Dynamics' robotic police dog.

They presented the new robot in the scientific journal IEEE Transactions on Robotics, and it supposedly will utilize a novel method for synthesizing facial expressions based on Action Units.

Robots are often covered in a material made to resemble flesh, such as silicone, which is attached via an adhesive or fastening — but this can lead to the skin falling off or breaking, says Wang.

The robot’s articulated arms and hands, complete with opposable thumbs, let it grasp and manipulate objects like trays or boxes with confidence, making it genuinely helpful in everyday tasks.

Hugging Face released its first hardware blueprint, a robotic arm design called the SO-100, late last year. The SO-100 was developed in partnership with a startup called The Robot Studio.
