DEFINITION

By definition A Normal heart patient with a pacemaker can be called a cyborg , that is, an organism with any artificial body part…

But the new age cyborgs are the organisms with electronic, mechanical and bionic implants in their body to aid the normal working of the whole body

INTRODUCTION

Kevin Warwick has taken the first steps on this path

In the years ahead we will witness machines with an Intelligence more powerful than that of humans

It will be a robot dominated world with dire consequences for humankind

CYBORGS AND ROBOTS

Robots, even after many developments, is still dumb machines working on some written commands and programs, and they cannot be completely human in behavior…

Cyborgs are not just super humans having extra abilities and mechanical body parts, but it’s a new approach having a wide range of applications and possibilities…

COMPARISONS WITH

ROBOTS

A robot is an automated machine while a cyborg is a combination of an organism with a machine.

Robots aren’t alive while cyborgs are.

Robots can be simple or very complex while cyborgs a retypically very complex.

Robots do not get tired while get tired

WHY CYBORGS….?

• Cyborgs are considered as the next step of

human evolution…

• A seed sized electronic implant can do many

functions which reduce a lot of human effort…

• Such an implant can replace credit cards,

passport, visa, and can make big changes in the

current lifestyle…

Returning Function Increased Strength Added Functionality Possibly Longer Lifespan Increased Intelligence/Computational

Power/Perception Enables one to lead a normal life Gives a part of the body back Improves the quality of life

CLASSIFICATION

Cyborgs are categorized into two types based on their structural and functional role play.

1 Individual Cyborgs

2.Social Cyborgs.

INDIVIDUAL CYBORG

Refer to a human with bionic, or robotic, implants

In prosthetic applications, C-Leg system developed by

Otto Bock HealthCare

2002, under the heading Project Cyborg, a British

scientist, Kevin Warwick

Neil Harbisson is sometimes claimed to be a Cyborg

“Cybernetic Organism" is used to describe

larger networks of communication and

control

Considered as an artificial intelligence that

makes use of replaceable human components

to function

Replaceable agents of their functionally

intelligent government institution

The term was coined by Manfred E. Clynes and

Nathan S. Kline in 1960 to refer to their

conception of an enhanced human being who

could survive in extraterrestrial environments.

In 2010, the Cyborg Foundation became the

world's first international organization dedicated

to help humans become cyborgs.

HISTORY

APPLICATION

S

MEDICINE

Restorative & Enhanced

Maximizing output and minimizing

input

BCI, provides a direct path

of communication from the brain to an

external device

Limitations on speed, strength,

endurance, and intelligence are

overcome

Artificial implementations

ARTIFICIAL IMPLIMENTATIONS

1. Artificial eyes or retinal implants.

2. Cochlear implants

3. Robotic and bionic body parts.

4. Artificial heart

COCHLEAR

IMPLANTS

• Cochlear implants may help provide hearing in patients that are deaf due to damage to sensory hair cells in their cochlea.

• It is an alternative method of treatment for profoundly deaf people, mostly children.

• It is estimated that in India, there are 1million profoundly deaf children and most of them still remains deaf….

COCHLEAR

IMPLANTS

One or more microphones which picks up sound

from the environment

A speech processor which

selectively filters sound to prioritize audible speech,

splits the sound into channels and sends the

electrical sound signals through a thin cable to the

transmitter,

A transmitter, which is a coil held in position by a

magnet placed behind the external ear , and

transmits power and the processed sound signals

across the skin to the internal device

by electromagnetic induction.

A receiver and stimulator secured in bone

beneath the skin, which converts the signals into

electric impulses and sends them through an

HOW IT WORKS…..??

RETINAL IMPLANTS

HOW IT WORKS….?

• Retinal implants are the

modern way of healing

blindness..

• In retina, we have light

detecting rod and cone cells.

And we place electrodes to

do the same function.

• The signals are then fed to

optic nerve and brain…

MILITARY

Utilization of Cyborg animals for the

purposes of a supposed tactical

advantage

DARPA is developing a neural implant

to remotely control the movement of

sharks

New surgical procedure to implant

artificial structures into insects during

their metamorphic development

ART

many artists have tried to create public awareness of cybernetic organisms

Stelarc is a performance artist who has visually probed and acoustically amplified his body

Wafaa Bilal is an Iraqi-American performance artist who had a small10 megapixel digital camera surgically implanted into the back of his head

DISADVANTAGES

Training is needed for doctors They are all expensive Psychological problems Feeling different to everyone else The risk of rejection/infection Pain during operation. It is not easy to identify where memory

is precisely located and how it is processed.

*FUTUREFrom the beginning, if we take a look at the history of computers, we can see the 1st computer, ANIAC was as large as a bedroom. And now, it is nothing more than something inside our palm..

Semiconductor manufacturers and scientists are in a constant rush for the smallest. The trend is of Minimization. Today the gadgets we carry, will be only in memory. The age where is no computers are not so far. All those we want will change their shape to implants and wearable computers…

YES… THE AGE OF MACHINES IS COMING…..

CONCLUSIONHuman Humans limited capabilities ,human sense

the world in a restricted way .

Even cyborgs has some major defects and wrong sides

as like any technologies evolving now days. Finally

I would like to say that if the future of intelligent robots,

then to protect mankind, we will must need some

TERMINATORs. They all are CYBORGS. Because

by making human CYBORGS.
