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?

Yes!! I finally get to customize my perfect girlfriend!
This is pretty funny.
Why do they look like characters from the Howard Stern Show. Are these the Japan Lab's test subjects?
*Why do they look like characters from the Howard Stern Show.*
Because Howard knows what attracts guys attention: Lessssssbians!
Actually I think this skin was invented in the 1980s because I'm pretty sure I saw those three girls in one of the mall scenes in a John Hughes film.
dont know but sure do looks sexy been nice to sex one that can walk talk and do every thing a real woman can im mean every thing. when you get tired of them turn them off cant do that woith a real one.
I can't wait until I can have my own Motoko Kusanagi. Of course, she'll probably just use me for target practice.
I, for one, welcome our sexually active robotic overlords.
Where's the Jenna Jameson model?
I would bang that robot on the right.
ck out the one on the left she is all cleaned up and ready to go
Help me. I'm stranded in the Valley.
They *scare* me.
These robots look so slutty that I think I'd still use a condom.
The last thing I need is roboherpes.
Or ElectroGonhorrea...the noisy killer!
I wonder if this has any applications for people with skin conditions(ie. burns, deformities). Or maybe that's a little too Texas Chainsaw Massacare?
Those robotic women are extremely lifelike . . . if you're referring to the blank, mindless stare. I've seen that same expression on some of the women walking about L.A.
So pretty soon that movie 'Cherry 2000' will seem a lot more realistic! haha
I'm surprised nobody has chimed in what those pics are from yet. Those pics are from Real Doll I'm 99% sure. Look, I'm just the messenger, I don't own one! Haven't you guys ever watched Real Sex on HBO?
Exactly what I thought
the image looks liek it was taken from the www.realdolls.com site
OMG, Cherry 2000, I think I remember seeing that on Cinemax when I was younger. Is that the sex slave robot movie where the robot kills someone? or someone "kills" the robot? I only vaguely remember the plot...
Did they invent a time machine as well? How else could they get those two dolls on the left and right straight out of the 80's?
Oh man you hit it right on.
I wonder if these things will have voice command. Heck Yeah!
they Look sexy!
tooo creepy. its not the dolls, it's the guys who use them not the lonely one, but the ones who have evvvvvill intentions.But they do look interesting?
Plastic women are not attractive. Seriously, what were they thinking using those "models" as a front for this product? Dumb, dumb, dumb. Where are the male "models"?
Those pics are from real doll.
Do they use Sony batteries?
look like the babes in that video - I Didn't Mean to Turn You On.... cool
the middle one looks like Carey from King of Queens.
It puts the lotion in the basket, or else it gets the hose!!!!
Why does the one in the middle look like Beyonce???
At first glance I also thought it was Destiny's Child.
All Right! When can I get my own Marilyn Monrobot.
[Cue music]
Chikkie bauw chikkie bauw bauw!
man, when are they gonna show some more pictures
Whenever you make your way over to realdoll.com. That's where the pic is from. And no, they aren't robots. :P
Hookerbot 2.0!
LOL, that's awesome! This reminds me of this video I saw showing a hot robot girl from the Tokyo Robot Expo:

There is some things I hope they never get right. This is one of them.
hehe I hope they're also working on a good cleaning solvent for this material...for 'protein' stains.
Definite uncanny valley.
PS: Are comments working correctly?
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh OH, YEAH YEAH ....aaaahhhhhhh.
LOL
"they swear it feels like the real deal"
where, may I ask?
i shall stand corrected these things do scare me and to have one in my room well....that wouldn't happen. too close to the puppetmaster movie for me.
I hope they're grounded because you'll get a real shock if you get it "wet".
WHY WAIT? Get your Robot sex-on right now!
