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 also prove useful for the cosmetics industry.

Edit to say: There's a video in the link 🌝

It's like they spent a lot of time and effort thinking about, how many different ways can we make this more terrifying? I'm having trouble coming up with anything else they could do short of anything really blatant like attaching it to a mobile body with flailing meat grinder arms and giving it a blood curdling 100 decibel scream.
