The researchers hope making robots appear more human will help us relate to and like them more, so they can better communicate with us, serving in the medical, care, and service industries.

Then the robots will take over and we will serve them.

Can this also be used on burn victims?

“Scientists” sure have the hots for robots these days. Weird.

What could go wrong?

Why would need robots with real skin?

Not weird. Most scientists I’ve known couldn’t get real chicks.

From Talos, the giant bronze automaton who guarded the princess Europa in ancient Greek myths,

A “don’t forget Jason an the Argonauts” ping. Hey bro, who knows for sure, but maybe this is how the beast will be healed of a mortal head wound, with a head transplant. No one knows.

It could eventually go all kinds of scary places but I would imagine that at first it will be used to generate a cash flow by layering it over the sexbots.

Similar already being done. Growing skin using patient’s stem cells, then placing it on the burn areas once prepared.

This could be either the best thing ever...

So the pic they used is basically to get all the women on board with this?

This isn't really new. Are you not familiar with my brother?
He lives with you on your home planet and employs thousands of you at his big tech company.

This is going to add a whole new dimension to “slapping skins”.
