Artificial leather for human robot

Experts claim to have successfully created artificial skin for human-like human cloning, which means creating robots that look identical to real ones.

Engineers from the Disney Research Institute in Switzerland and Walt Disney's Image Technology Development Division have announced a new computer-aided design for human facial imaging, Maximizing the creation of artificial skin for mechanical characters.

Human-like robots are the target of many world experts

Mechanical characters are machines that have a lively appearance, not just robots. They are designed with the same size as living organisms. Typically, mechanical characters are created for filmmaking, amusement parks and similar purposes.

Researchers in Switzerland have developed a computerized method to automatically design artificial skin that suits each individual character.

"With this approach, we can make replicas of real life robots simply," said PTI researcher Dr. Bernd Bickel of the Disney Research Institute.

This process starts by scanning the facial expressions in three dimensions. Then, the computer analyzes the data to determine the shape of the artificial skin, as well as the parameters of the robot head.

As a result, the characters are made up of similar faces, according to Dr. Bickel.
