U1 Series humanoid robot ships with full-scale bionic design + emotional AI model integration. Hardware includes soft synthetic skin layer with realistic facial mapping.
Current skin material properties: soft + glossy + elastic texture, but runs cold (no thermal regulation yet). Team confirmed thermal layer coming in next hardware revision to match human body temperature range.
This is basically pushing the uncanny valley envelope with tactile realism. Interesting they're treating thermal feedback as a software-upgradable feature rather than base hardware requirement. Probably means modular heating elements in skin substrate.
