Looks and feels real? I’m sorry but if i’m getting a cyberpunk upgrade it will be gold, chrome, or matte neon plastic. There are no other options ya gonk.
Cultured skin, as they put it, can heal itself, carry biological sensors like our own to provide sensitive touch, and could also have benefits in medical or human interaction contexts.
The self-repairable part is odd to me.You need to keep feeding, oxygenating it and to prevent infections, otherwise it will rot :S Besides, the healing relies on blood for platelets and crusts to form…it needs too much babysitting to be called “self-healing”.
…but…why? What is the point of living skin on machines? Even humans do everything they can to make their skin not look human :D
So you can send the robot back in time, obviously.
The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy, but these are new. They look human - sweat, bad breath, everything. Very hard to spot.
robot girlfriend duh
So they can build a cybernetic organism. Living tissue over a metal endoskeleton.
synthetic playmates…got it 👯
It would be cool if somebody missing an arm could get a cybernetic replacement that looks and feels real.
That’s the only situation I can imagine where maintaining a living skin is worth the cost. I can’t even keep plants alive.
