I love those, I was just talking with Space Cowboy about them this weekend. I love them because they mimic the modular design of organic matter, which is, in my opinion, the future of robotics.

Whoa, lets not get ahead of ourselves. First we have living tissue over a metal endoskeleton. THEN the organic-thing, mmkay?

That doesn't make the bolded bits make any more sense in that order...

Apparently, organic tissue evolved from the morphogenic field of robotic protoplasm.

I have. Years ago.
-first  terminators/infiltrators had rubber skin, and humans could easily pick them out of a crowd

-then boss AI makes an system so that a layer of actual skin could be  grown on the robots

-worked well for a whole, but there wasn't much variation in the faces, so humans could distinguish them again

-boss AI makes a "mimetic polyalloy" (reconfigurable selectively-solid metal system) that can copy peoples' physical characteristics very easily

Ah.

The comment didn't make any sense because living tissue is organic material. FYI.

Yea, they messed up the acronym:
reconfigurable selectively-solid metal system
Should be:
reconfigurable solid selectively-metal system
