Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach to creating robotic faces and prosthetic hands with human-like temperature distributions. This is achieved by integrating a temperature regulation system into artificial skin, mimicking the human body's thermoregulation via blood flow. A fiber network simulating blood vessels is used, with water circulating through these fibers to control heat release. The system can replicate varied thermal characteristics of human faces and hands, making robots appear more human-like in infrared images and improving the comfort of prosthetic limbs.
