To me, this seems like a game changer. The multitude of applications for this type of technology and the impact it will have on our daily lives will be interesting to see as the research continues. I think the application of this to robots will be inevitable and unlock even more advanced & precise abilities and skills.

I wonder if it it’s even possible for our skin to be replaced by something like this in the future?

I don't even want skin anymore. Make me full chrome, choomba.

Ehh I like my skin. It's one of the few things I want to keep when I go full cyborg. Fuck my legs, useless shits always hurting. Let me get some thunder stompers that I can set to autopilot and take a nap while my ass walks itself to the store.

I wonder if this could potentially be able to drastically enable or at least improve upon joint and muscle related inflictions like arthritis or weaking grip strength and things of the like..
