Meet Grace, the healthcare robot created to help people isolated by Covid-19

Behind the scenes in cutting-edge robotics labs, engineers are pushing the boundaries of what humanoid robots can be—not just in functionality, but in appearance as well. One of the most surreal and uncanny moments in the development process is when a lifelike silicone mask is carefully stretched and fitted over a robot’s mechanical skull. The transformation is astonishing, turning cold metal into something eerily human. These masks are meticulously crafted to mimic the texture of human skin, re
