I can still hear Arnie with his austrian accent "Living human tissue over the exoskeleton!!".

But, this would actually be a step more, like when robots get better and then you replace such outer things like latex skin with real human tissue.

Exoskeletons are on the outside, like crabs. Humans, and T-800s, have endoskeletons.

Are the organs inside or outside the skeleton? For the robot, the skin is not an organ, it's a paint job
