being human. We now have bionic body parts‚ bionic blood‚ and matrix like programmes that might allow downloads of skills and robots that do things faster and more efficient than us. With such inventions‚ how do we continue defining what is human and what is technology? The inventions of bionic body parts bode well for those that are disabled as such inventions embody a hope for them to be whole and well again. With bionic arms‚ the handless can grasp and hold. With bionic legs‚ the legless can walk

In medicine‚ there are two important and different types of cyborgs: the restorative and the enhanced. Restorative technologies "restore lost function‚ organs‚ and limbs".]The key aspect of restorative cyborgization is the repair of broken or missing processes to revert to a healthy or average level of function. There is no enhancement to the original faculties and processes that were lost. On the contrary‚ the enhanced cyborg "follows a principle‚ and it is the principle of optimal performance:

within the growing structure. This science-fiction scenario is inspired by true-life biology such as the growth of chicks from an egg or plants from a seed. Yet given all our technological advances‚ it is still impossible to engineer such a reality. Bionics as the term for the field of study involving copying‚ imitating‚ and learning from biology was coined by Jack Steele of the US Air Force in 1960 at a meeting at Wright–Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton‚ Ohio. Otto H. Schmitt coined the term Biomimetics

important aspect in the development of science and technology are computers. The science has made great achievements in the bionical creativity engineering‚ which is very helpful for people with disabilities. In particular‚ people are deprived of their limbs. About one hundred years ago people only could dream to visit space‚ and always thought if it’s possible. All of these have been possible since there were computers. And I think this is not the end of the development of technology yet. Patrick Kane

CHAPTER1 INTRODUCTION There are over an estimated 100‚000 upper extremity amputees currently living in the United States alone. Many of those people could benefit from the psychological gains and physical usefulness of a simple powered prosthesis. It is a sad fact that people who are viewed as different in our society stand out‚ but those people simply want to blend in and be treated normally‚ and be able to lead normal high functioning lives. Amputees are

imitation of the models‚ systems‚ and elements of nature for the purpose of solving complex human problems.[1] The terms biomimetics and biomimicry come from the Greek words bios‚ meaning life‚ andmimesis‚ meaning to imitate. A closely related field is bionics.[2] Living organisms have evolved well-adapted structures and materials over geological time through natural selection. Biomimetics has given rise to new technologies inspired by biological solutions at macro and nanoscales. Humans have looked at

with similar cyborg sensors to detect explosives underwater. Cyborgs are also being used in medical fields. Take Garcia Tolson for example‚ he got the chance to choose between life in a wheelchair and walking with artificial limbs. Just the fact that he could have artificial limbs implanted so he doesn’t have to be on a wheelchair for the rest of his life is fascinating. Cybernetic Organisms have many advantages and disadvantages. The most important advantage is health. You can replace many parts

The chip implant emits a signal that allows him to open doors‚ operate lights‚ and even local computers without lifting a finger. Jesse Sullivan is an amputee and he has had a robotic limb that is connected to his nervous system‚ via a nerve-muscle graft. This allows him to control the limb with his mind and feel hot‚ cold‚ and the amount of pressure he applies with his arm. Jens Naumann became blind after a series of accidents‚ but through an artificial vision system‚ connected straight
