WHAT IS CYBERNETICS? WHAT IS CYBORG? PERSONS BEHIND CYBERNETICS:

CLASSIFICATION OF CYBORGS
Convenient Cyborgs Conditional Cyborgs Hybrots Robots

PROSTHESIS (or Prosthetic n.): An artefact that provides the human body with previously missing functionality or overcomes defective functionality. OTHOSIS (or Orthotic n.): An artefact that supplements or extends a human's capabilities.

Types of Prosthesis

External Prosthesis: Separate from the human body but satisfactorily interfaced with it

Examples: Spectacles, walking sticks, crutches, renal dialysis, heart-lung machines

Exo-Prosthesis: On an extremity of the human body and satisfactorily interfaced with it

Examples: Contact lenses, conventional artificial hands, arms and legs

Endo-Prosthesis Internal to the human body and satisfactorily interfaced with it

Examples: Artificial hips, knees, stents, pacemakers, implants (cochlear, lenses)

Types of ORTHOSIS

External Orthosis:

Examples are Telescopes, microscopes, golfclubs, skis, snorkels, body-suits for knights, astronauts, deep-sea divers,

Exo-Orthosis:

Examples are Extra fingers, highly-articulated joints, spring-steel legs

Endo-Orthosis:

Examples are Chip implants (e.g. for id disclosure, tracking, door opening, pain management)

Implementation:

Kevin Warwick is a British Scientist and professor of Cybernetics at the University of Reading, England. He is best known for his studies on direct interfaces between computer systems and the human nervous system. He started a project and was called as I, Cyborg He got a chip implanted into his arm, with the aim of becoming the FIRST CYBORG".

Silicon chip transponder implanted in professor Warwick's left arm.


Implant was encased in a glass tube. The chip receives signals and sends them to a computer

CHIP IMPLANT

On the 14th of March 2002 a 100 electrode array was surgically implanted into the median nerve fibres of the left arm of Professor Kevin Warwick

Non-invasive BCIs (EEG)


EEG stands for Electroencephelogr aphy It is the neurophysiological measurement, via the use of electrodes on the scalp of the electrical activity of the brain.

APPLICATIONS

IN MEDICAL FIELD:
In medicine, there are two important and different types of cyborgs: Restorative Enhanced.

IN ART:
The concept of cyborgation to associate to most people with science fiction, they tend to believe cyborgs exist only in imaginations of writers and artists. Cyborgs get famed through mainly science fiction films and through stories of writers.

In military:

Military organizations' research has recently focused on the utilization of cyborg animals for inter-species relationships for the purposes of a supposed a tactical advantage.

DARPA is developing a neural implant to remotely control the movement of sharks. The shark's unique senses would be exploited to provide data feedback in relation to enemy ship movement and underwater explosives. DARPA has announced its interest in developing "cyborg insects" to transmit data from sensors implanted into the insect during the pupal stage

IN SPORTS:

Some prosthetic leg and feet allow for runners to adjust the length of their stride which could potentially improve run times and in time actually allow a runner with prosthetic leg to be fastest in the world. IN POPULAR CULTURE: Cyborgs are become a well-known part of science through fiction literature and other media. Examples:Terminator, Star wars etc. Mechanical based models include Replicants and Cylons.

Double Below-The-Knee Amputee Oscar Pistorius ZA 21.58 seconds for 200m (avge 33.36 kph)
Improvements needed 2005-08: 5% for the QF 6.5% for the SF 10% for Olympic Gold

A Mechanical Enhancement

Above-theElbow Amputee Peter Eberle


The nerves at the top of the arm tell the muscles to contract. The muscle emits myoelectrical impulses that are detected by the arms CPU, which tells the motor in the hand to move

Advantages:
Prolongs life Enables one to lead a normal life Gives a part of the body back Improves the quality of life Human beings with extra senses Intercommunication without using speech Diseases could be analysed and cured in terms of neural impulse signals.

Disadvanages:
Training is needed. They are all expensive. Psychological problems. Feeling different to everyone else. The risk of rejection/infection. Separation through Biological haves and have-nots. Violation of human privacy and dominant caste forcing the rest of un-technologized humanity.

CONCLUSION
The idea is that, in the future, we may have more and more artificial body partsarms, legs, hearts, eyes and so ontill one might end up finally as a brain in a wholly artificial body. The use of Cyborg technology will convert humans into SuperHumans with powers never possessed by humans before. In the years ahead we will witness machines with an intelligence more powerful than that of humans Humans have limited capabilities.
