Scientists in California have developed a Terminator-style synthetic skin for robots which heals like human skin and has a human-like sense of touch in an attempt to make artificial intelligence less frightening.
It's thought the material could help people feel more at ease around artificial intelligence (AI) at home and in the workplace. The synthetic skin is similar to the futuristic e-skin worn by Arnold Schwarzenegger's cyborg character in Terminator.
Our skin is our largest organ with some amazing qualities. It can sense temperature, pressure and texture as well as being able to stretch and spring back, time and time again.
