Scientists continue to accelerate and develop technology to design robots that can emulate real people as close possible. The latest comes via artificial skin that acts similarly to ours.
One team for the University of Glasgow have created a prototype “e-skin,” ‘inspiration from how the human peripheral nervous system interprets signals from skin in order to eliminate the delays and power consumption of previous concepts,’ Daily Mail reports.
The scientists integrated a circuit into the skin to act as an artificial synapse, reducing the sensory inputs while accelerating processing reactions. The team used a variety of voltage spikes by touching the skin to generate and examine the different reactions it generates. The artificial skin ‘learned to move away from this source of simulated discomfort through a process of onboard information processing that mimics how the human nervous system works,’ the Daily Mail added.
We all learn early on in our lives to respond appropriately to unexpected stimuli like pain in order to prevent us from hurting ourselves again.
Of course, the development of this new form of electronic skin didn’t really involve inflicting pain as we know it — it’s simply a shorthand way to explain the process of learning from external stimulus.
What we’ve been able to create through this process is an electronic skin capable of distributed learning at the hardware level, which doesn’t need to send messages back and forth to a central processor before taking action.
Instead, it greatly accelerates the process of responding to touch by cutting down the amount of computation required.
We believe that this is a real step forward in our work towards creating large-scale neuromorphic printed electronic skin capable of responding appropriately to stimuli.

Meanwhile other researchers from the University of Tokyo are also developing fake skin for robots. Their faux skin claims emulate the same texture as our skin, but also is water-repellent and has self-healing properties.
The finger looks slightly ‘sweaty’ straight out of the culture medium. Since the finger is driven by an electric motor, it is also interesting to hear the clicking sounds of the motor in harmony with a finger that looks just like a real one.
With that method, you have to have the hands of a skilled artisan who can cut and tailor the skin sheets. To efficiently cover surfaces with skin cells, we established a tissue molding method to directly mold skin tissue around the robot, which resulted in a seamless skin coverage on a robotic finger.
We are surprised by how well the skin tissue conforms to the robot’s surface. But this work is just the first step toward creating robots covered with living skin.
I think living skin is the ultimate solution to give robots the look and touch of living creatures since it is exactly the same material that covers animal bodies.

Scientists Create The ‘World’s Most Advanced’ And Realistic Robot
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
As touched upon in other reports, the move into sinister era of transhumanism continues, and a part of that is to create robotic gods that look and act like real people, powered by artificial intelligence connected to the smart grids.
Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
Jeremiah 2:11
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

It would seem that ‘living’ and ‘artificial’ don’t go together, wouldn’t it? But we live in delusional crazy-world now. I’m sure I’m not the only one whose mind immediately went to this passage:

Re 13:11-15 KJB ¶ And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
Re 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Re 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Re 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Re 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
The other thought was concerning ‘what covers animal bodies’…and the coming beast & his system. Appropriate, but creepy.

Shoju Takeuchi, eh? Once again they needed to import people willing to promote & do to others what those with any lingering biblical cultural influence remaining would not. God doesn’t honor or protect that lukewarm, & vomit & wallows stuff leaning back into craft & towards Rome anymore than he did the idolatrous Jews leaning back towards Egypt & the Syrian paganism God called Abraham out of.
–
MacArthur’s post-ww II masonic influencing & rebuilding of Japan with its anime, robotics genius & cold geisha pragmatic cultural prostitution promoted as ‘progressive’ alongside the French, Belgian and Danish drug & porn promotion…and all the rest, sans lawful, conscientious restraint, & keeping true evangelism out of both Japan & reconstructed Europe, was an important part of the strategizing of the idolatrous humanist transformation of America and the world post WW II.
–
The Peter Drucker types playing into that, too. Maxwell and his ‘leadership’ stuff, the other masonic MacArthur…. There’s a reason the northwest and California have so much turmoil, & the Ukrainian element is just a parallel & partner to the elitist and gnostic Buddhist element…..a lot of common ground there with an affinity for Rome while fostering the appearance of being entirely different.
–
Rome making a big deal of the Asian work ethic and academic excellence, exceptionalism etc, & the system demanding such compromise & denial of Christ that true Christians in the field of science became scarce as hen’s teeth, not likely to become tenured or promoted even if they played the game, while the fakes and phonies were often in the media spotlight. It became so commonplace to see a ‘Christian leader’ given the microphone & an opening for the Gospel only to choke that it became painfully obvious what was going on, & a joke. Makes me think of the epistles of Peter.
–
Rome cultivating the supposed ‘opposite’ & the people of color against the Asians & anyone literate. Creating artificial divisions and unities….better said: CRAFTING them. They can’t create anything really, just manipulate and imitate like the creaturely spirit they serve.
–
And now they’re promoting Putin as ‘more Christian’… The first time I heard that we were still in the church house & a Philippino national missionary spoke to the congregation saying such things….maybe 8, 9 years ago now. I thought whaaaaat did he just say, then checked back and noted that the World Mag types were running that sort of line, too. And about Poland, after it went Catholic socialist. Who knew? Eisenhower did say that their goal was to so change America as to comfortably merge with Russia, after all.
–
And in those days when it didn’t seem possible & that the so-called ‘right’ and resistance was strong…..little of it was truly biblically Christian if truly examined in the light of the word. All carefully ecumenical & supposedly ‘scientific’. Old Eugenie Scott used to say that one backward collar promoting their line before the people was worth hundreds of regular folks & activists. Ditto that other witch, Margaret Sanger.
These sickos love playing god (gods)
