Sci-Fi is becoming reality.....
Looking to the future, Mouthuy and Carr suggest that this could be the first step toward "biohybrid humanoids" with "cell-based actuators." In other words, this robot would be like the Terminator, whose metal endoskeleton is covered in human muscles, tendons, and skin. Obviously, if we want to create truly humanoid robots, it would make sense to eventually create ones whose musculoskeletal systems are made from cellular tissue rather than stretchy polymers. After all, this tissue is self-repairing and perfectly designed to stretch and contract.
MIT roboticist Rodney Brooks predicted many years ago that humans wouldn't be replaced by robots—we would become them. In this paper about tissue engineering, we can see one possible way that prediction might come true.

if the robot has real flesh, that flesh has to receive nutrients, so that flesh creates waste, therefore the robots have to eliminate that waste
which bathroom will they use?
men's
women's
family
transgender
janitor's roomI don't necessarily agree with everything I say.

I tell it like it is, if you want smoke blown up your ass or something sugar coated. I suggest you get a Hooker and a powdered donut.

toxins extraction, oxygen supply (lungs), circulatory system to move nutrients etc, pretty much these robots will need the whole human body, including brain, to regulate all the processes. And brain is much more powerful at doing this, and thinks some thoughts in between, also better than machines do. Now, may I ask, what we need robots for? Brain-less slaves?

So we develop technology to grow human skin. We dont use it for burn victims, we use it to build robots?
Does that make sense?
Either way, we are still having to give blood like we did in ww1 so until we can get over that hurdle, i dont believe these stories."To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda

They were re-built many times. Weighed 700lbs but could run like the wind and made cool noises when they jumped 30 feet straight up.Originally Posted by Guinea-pig
