This document discusses cyborgs and their applications. It defines cyborgs as organisms with both artificial and biological components that enhance normal body functions. Examples mentioned include individuals with prosthetic limbs, retinal implants, or cochlear implants. The document also explores future applications of cyborg technology in medicine, the military, and arts. While cyborgs may help overcome human limitations, the document notes they also present disadvantages like high costs, psychological impacts, and health risks. Overall, the document examines how cyborgs currently enhance humans and may play an even greater role in the future by integrating more fully with our biological systems.

3. DEFINITION
 By definition A Normal heart patient with a
pacemaker can be called a cyborg , that
is, an organism with any artificial body
part…
 Butthe new age cyborgs are the
organisms with electronic, mechanical
and bionic implants in their body to aid
the normal working of the whole body

4. 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

5. 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…

6. 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

7. 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…

8.  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

9. CLASSIFICATION
Cyborgs are categorized into two types based on their
structural and functional role play.
1 Individual Cyborgs
2.Social Cyborgs.

10. 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

11.  “CyberneticOrganism" 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

12. HISTORY
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.

13. APPLICATION
S

14. 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

15. ARTIFICIAL IMPLIMENTATIONS
1. Artificial eyes or retinal implants.
2. Cochlear implants
3. Robotic and bionic body parts.
4. Artificial heart

16. COCHLEAR
IMPLANTS

17. COCHLEAR
IMPLANTS may help provide
• Cochlear implants
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….

18. HOW IT WORKS…..??
 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

19. RETINAL IMPLANTS

20. 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

22. 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

23. 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

24. 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.

25. *FUTURE
From 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…..

26. CONCLUSION
 Human 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.
