英语阅读：类人机械人新突破
If humanoid robots make you a bit queasy — it help if they had fleshy faces can smile at you?
The uncanny feat is the result of new using engineered living skin tissue and human-like ligaments to give robots a more natural smile, to Tokyo researchers who unveiled their work this week.
“In this study, we managed to replicate human to some extent by a face with the same and as humans,” Shoji Takeuchi, the team leader, said in a news release. In the process, he added, “we identified new challenges, such as the necessity for surface wrinkles and a thicker epidermis to a more humanlike appearance.”
The promises to make robots more lifelike — and in the future, the researchers say, techniques could also be used on humans, in the cosmetics and surgery industries. Their findings were published in the journal Cell Reports Science.
To overlay and the lab-produced skin on a robotic skeleton, a layer of collagen gel containing cultured human dermal fibroblasts (a type of connective tissue cell) binds to an innovative of tiny V-shaped perforations in the surface, letting the skin move with the underlying structure without tearing or peeling. The work of muscles — creating a smile, and other motions — is done by actuators.
若是类人机械人让你感应有点恶心——若是它们拥有能对你微笑的血肉之躯，会不会好一些?
据本周宣布研究效果的东京大学研究职员称，这项令人惊异的手艺是新手艺的效果，使用工程化活体皮肤组织和类似人类的韧带，付与机械人更自然的微笑。
“在这项研究中，我们通过创立具有与人类相同外貌质料和结构的面部，在一定水平上实现了复制人类外貌的目的，”团队认真人竹内庄司教授在新闻宣布会上体现。在此历程中，他增补道：“我们发明了新的挑战，如为实现更类似人类的外观，需要外貌皱纹和更厚的表皮。”
这种要领有望使机械人越发逼真——研究职员体现，在未来，类似的手艺也可应用于人类，如化妆品行业和整形外科行业。他们的研究效果揭晓在《细胞报告物理科学》杂志上。
据东京大学的研究职员称，一种将活体皮肤组织毗连到机械人骨架的新要领将允许机械人做出更多类似人类的心情和拥有更好的运动规模。

为了将实验室培育的皮肤笼罩并毗连到机械人骨架上，一层含有作育的人类真皮成纤维细胞(一种结缔组织细胞)的胶原卵白凝胶会与外貌上一套立异的小型V形穿孔系统团结，使皮肤能够随着底层结构移动而不会撕裂或脱落。肌肉的事情——包括微笑和其他行动——由驱动器完成。
