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, on humans the healing relies on blood for platelets and crusts to form and a whole immune system…it needs too much babysitting to be called “self-healing”.
But it does heal. Efficiently be damned. That’s not what you care about with mad science. Results are all that matter in mad science, good results or bad results you just have an insatiable desire to see what happens if
…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 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.

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.
From the article
Skin is extremely flexible,water proof and self-repairable.

I guess there’s a market for… skin contact?
So you can send the robot back in time, obviously.

So they can use time machines that somehow only work for living matter
