Depends on the why. There are some good reasons and some not so good reasons.

[plain talk]

This would seem to be a good application for prosthetic limbs. Great development if it works out.

[usurper]

Why would need robots with real skin?

Fembots my friend fembots, I for one am looking forward to my new fembot master.

[Jonty30]

There does seem to be a theology of replacing man with artificial life forms.

[Republican Wildcat]

Fembots...sounds like something off the Bionic Woman...in fact, I believe they were called that. Been years since I’ve watched that show, though.

[mabarker1]

Nope, it’s Lore...

[philetus]

bttt

[freepertoo]

Might even be B4.

From the article.

"The finger looks slightly 'sweaty' straight out of the culture medium," says Takeuchi. "Since the finger is driven by an electric motor, it is also interesting to hear the clicking sounds of the motor in harmony with a finger that looks just like a real one."

"All right, listen. The Terminator's an infiltration unit: part man, part machine. Underneath, it's a hyperalloy combat chassis, microprocessor-controlled. Fully armored; very tough. But outside, it's living human tissue: flesh, skin, hair, blood - grown for the cyborgs."

“ Fembots”

See “Austin Powers”.

[[Umm, what part of the robot is in that petri dish?]]

Why would need robots with real skin?

Required in order to be able to time-travel.

Also to "mingle" with the human population without attracting attention while searching for John Connor.

Talos: The giant automaton who guarded princess Europa in Greek fables. Tallow: A hard fatty substance made from a long slow boil of animal fat. Oft used for making candles and soaps.

Okay, I'll continue:

Shallow: Not deep.

What's your point?

Regards,

[Grey182]

Um, wouldn’t the robot need an immune system to go with it?

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

Just because you can do something, does not mean you should do something.

[Tonytitan]

Why is anyone even working on this?

And who is funding the work?

[grobdriver]

And who is funding the work?

Oh I'm sure WE are, through government grants.

[Organic Panic]

artificial humans has both fascinated and creeped us out for centuries.

They are called college graduates with a “studies” degree. Perfectly programmed hybrid automotons.

[Hardastarboard]

The second set of pictures was the first thought I had.
