The document discusses cyborgs, which are humans combined with machines. Cyborgs use bionic or robotic enhancements attached to the body to repair or overcome physical and mental limitations. Examples mentioned include Professor Kevin Warwick, the first cyborg who implanted microchips under his skin to connect to computers, and the RoboRoach kit that allows controlling a cockroach's movements using a smartphone. The document outlines various applications of cyborg technology in fields like medicine, military, art, and more. Potential advantages include restoring sight or communication abilities, while disadvantages include risks of infection, hacking, and high expenses.
3. Cyborg is short name of
“cybernetic organism” .
It is a combination between
man and machine.
Different from robot.
Used to repair or overcome
physical and mental
constraints.
4. It is used to refer to a
human with bionic, or
robotic.
Artificial objects such as
prosthesis are so closely
attached to human bodies
as to be considered as a
part of one’s body. Oscar Pistorious
5. The US-based company Backyard Brains released
"The world's first commercially available cyborg"
called the RoboRoach.
The kit allows students to use microsimulation to
control the movements of a walking cockroach
using a bluetooth-enabled smartphone as the
controller.
6. A chip is designed which is
made of electrodes is injected
in the human body which
gets in contact with the
median nerve to record the
reactions and is connected to
signal processing so as to
stimulate the reactions.
7. He is Professor of cybernetics
at the University of Reading.
He is the world’s first human cyborg , he
implanted microchips under his arms so that he
could easily communicate with computers and
electronic devices at his laboratory.
8. In Finance
In medicine
In the military
In art
Cyborgination in
critical deaf studies
9. Cyborg technology would be
given artificial sight to blind
people.
Used in military by soldiers.
It is used to establish
intercommunication between
two people or without using
speech.
Chance of living for a long
period of time.
10. Possibility of dying in the middle of the
operation.
Metal corrosion leads to infection in the body.
There are chances for the hacking of chip and
manipulating the information of militants.
They are expensive.
11. The cyborgs concept supports metaphors of
living beings as machines.
It softens distinctions between human and
animals, between organisms and machines.
From the relatively mundane starting point of
cybernatics, the cyborg offers starting
possibilities for the future.
