What is a cyborg ?

Cyborg = cybernetic organism (i.e., an organism that has both artificial and natural systems )

Cybernetics
q Cybernetics is the study of examining the

design and function of any system that have goals

q The term cybernetics stems from the

Greek kubernetis meaning "Steersman determining the proper relationship between a man and a machine

q Cybernetic models are widely used in

Real life Cyborgs

A cyborg can be

defined as the human being who is technologically complemented by external or internal devices

Robots & Cyborgs

A robot is an automated machine while a

cyborg is a combination of an organism with a machine

Robots arent alive while cyborgs are. Robots can be simple or very complex while

cyborgs are typically very complex.

Hybrot= hybrid

m in the form of arobot controlled by a computer consisting of both electronic and biological elements. elements are typically rat neurons 5/14/12 connected to

The biological

Latest Technology
At present Cyborgology concentrates on the

development of Conditional cyborgs. That is living being with a mechanical body part which is replaced for the damaged or lost body part. Among them C-LEG has prime importance, it has functioning similar to our leg. These external mechanical parts works by the stimulations received generated from our neural system

Advantages
Giving artificial sight to blind people. In a

similar way artificial limbs to people suffering from paralysis. Would be implemented in almost all fields where human interaction is needed. Diseases could be analyzed and cured in terms of neural impulse signals. To establish intercommunication between two or more people without using speech. Human beings with extra senses

Disadvantages
A tremendous violation of human privacy. Once implanted with bio-implant electronic

devices , Cyborgs might become highly dependent upon the creators of these devices for their repair, recharge, and maintenance, thus placing them under the absolute control of designers of technology. This technology originate from people who foresee tremendous possible risks towards human health

Applications
In Medicine

Restorative technologies: restore lost function, organs, and limbs. Enhanced cyborg: follows principle of optimal performance i.e. 5/14/12 maximizing

In military
Cyborg soldiers
Soldier integrate with

weapons & equipment

Cyborg animals Neural implant to

remotely control the movement of animals

Conclusion
The idea is that, in the future, we may

have more and more artificial body parts arms, legs, hearts, eyes and so ontill one might end up finally as a brain in a wholly artificial body. humans into Super Humans with powers never possessed by humans before. machines with an intelligence more powerful than that of humans 5/14/12

The use of Cyborg technology will convert

In the years ahead we will witness
