The WD-2 robot, which can morph into any human face, was created by researchers at Tokyo University.
It is a malleable face mask with rear projection. The mask changes shape to match a face, then the projector handles all the details of appearance and expression. The robot face has "17 facial points, for a total of 56 degrees of freedom" and is made with a "highly elastic and rigid material called Septom, with bits of steel wool mixed in for added strength."
