    It's already creepy if you understand where the source material comes from. > In their experiments, the researchers used commercially available human cells, purchasing what are called Normal Human Dermal Fibroblasts (NHDFs) and Normal Human Epidermal Keratinocytes (NHEKs) that were isolated from either juvenile foreskin or different skin locations from adult donors by a company called PromoCell GmbH. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/06/researchers-craft-smiling-robot-face-from-living-human-skin-cells/ https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/06/researchers-craft-sm...

  As long as it cannot show anger and frustration, due to "sweating", it may be an interesting behavior.

  Actually, touch sensors is what it needs. This is illustrated by wearing gloves. It's surprising how hard it is to manipulate objects without good touch sensors.
