Summary:

• **What is this robot?** Scientists have created a special robot that has warm skin and feels almost like a real human when you touch it. The robot was designed to look and feel as lifelike as possible, which makes it seem less "creepy" and more friendly to people who interact with it.

• **Why is this important?** This technology could help robots work better with people in hospitals, schools, and homes by making them feel more comfortable and natural to be around. When robots feel more human-like, people trust them more and are willing to work with them on important tasks.
