Robots could soon be covered in real human flesh, Oxford boffins claim (The Sun)
Grab your pitchforks, scientists want to coat robots in muscle fibres and tissue so they look just like us

SCIENTISTS are calling for robots to be made with real human flesh.
But it’s all in aid of helping those in need of tendon replacements, like musicians or athletes.
Scientists have already created fleshy “bio-bots” made of living cells which can wriggle and walk.
And now two University of Oxford biomedical researchers claim that humanoid robots could help create muscle and tendon grafts that actually work.
Their findings, published in journal Science Robotics, claim that the technology is already in place to start harvesting muscles and tissue on human-like machines.
Scientists have been trying to engineer human tissue with varying degrees of success.
