The Japanese cosmetic company Kao and professor Takasi Maeno (Takashi Maeno) from the university Keyo (Keio University) combined efforts in development and advance of the new generation of the skin for the robots. So strange a union is explained simply: artificial gumanoidov with the new skin Kao it is intended to use for development and approval of cosmetic. Apparently, not to the object of biological action, but for the evaluation of external result. However, Maeno dog it ate on the robotic systems, moreover precisely on androides, outwardly maximally similar to the people. Therefore its new invention - "human skin" for the robots, interested cosmetologists. This skin consists of two different in the elasticity and other parameters of polymeric it is layer. Outside - 0.2 millimeters of specially selected urethan with the thin invoice, which imitates to papillary lines, and inside - the centimeter layer of silicone. In a series of not completely scientific tests 10 of 12 people, which tried artificial leather by feel, was estimated it as very similar to the present. The analogous similarity showed instrument measurements of the mechanical properties of novelty. Development Maeno was represented at 24-1 annual conference of the Japanese society of robot technology (RSJ).
