2. Humans have limited capabilities
Humans sense the world in a restricted way
Can we use technologies to upgrade
humans?
The paper emphasizes on the use of the
cyborgs to make the lives happy
3. Introduction
Definition
Types of cyborgs
Fictional behaviour
Cyborg proliferation in society
Advantages
Disadvantages
4. Kevin Warwick has taken the first steps on
this path
In the years ahead we will witness machine
with an intelligence more powerful than that
of humans
It will be robot dominated world with dire
consequences for humankind
5. This involved a simple RFID
transmitter being implanted
beneath Warwick's skin, and
used to control doors, lights,
heaters, and other computer-
controlled devices based on his
proximity.
The main purpose of this
experiment was said to be to test
the limits of what the body
would accept, and how easy it
would be to receive a meaningful
signal from the chip.
6. Implant communicated via radio waves with a
network of antennas.
Aim of this experiment was to determine
whether information could be transmitted to
and from an implant.
7. The door of his laboratory opened as he
approached.
The computer was aware of exactly what
time he arrived in certain rooms and left.
A voice box in the entrance foyer of the
cybernetics building welcomed his arrival
each morning with ‘Hello Professor Warwick’
8. The second stage involved a
more complex neural
interface . This device was
implanted on 14 March 2002,
and interfaced directly into
Warwick's nervous system.
The electrode array inserted
contained 100 electrodes, of
which 25 could be accessed at
one time.
10. By means of the implant, Warwick's
nervous system was connected onto the
internet in Columbia University, New York.
From there he was able to control the robot
arm in the University of Reading and to
obtain feedback from sensors in the finger
tips. The experiment proved successful,
and the signal produced was detailed
enough that a robot arm was able to mimic
the actions of Warwick's own arm
11. A cyborg is a cybernetic
organism,humanpart machine
The cybernetic pioneer
prof.Kevin Warwick, the worlds
leading expert in cybernetics is
upgrading the human body
starting with himself
12. CYBORG
Convenient Cyborg Conditional Cyborg
Convenient cyborgs Conditional Cyborgs
may refer to any includes bionic
implants
external provision of replanting the lost or
an exoskeleton for the damaged body for
the
satisfying the altered normal living in the
fancy needs of body. present environment.
13. Individual cyborgs
cyborgs is used to refer to a
man or woman with bionic or
robotic implants
Today,the C-LEG system is
used to replace human legs
that are amputated because of
injuries or illness
14.
15. Social cyborgs
More broadly, the full
term “CYBernetic ORGanism” is
used to describe larger
networks of communication
and control
A corporation can be
considered as an artificial
intelligence that makes uses of
replaceable human
components to function
22. In medicine there are two
important different types of
cyborgs
Restorative technologies
Enhanced technologies
23. To control an electric wheel
chair, a sequential state
machine was implemented,
with a command signal
decoded in real time from
the neural signals being
used to halt the cycle at the
intended action. In this way,
the overall control of the
wheel chair was made to be
as simple as possible
24. The most common forms of prosthesis an
enhancements we see in the sports today are
TOMMY JOHN Surgery
PROSTHETIC Legs
25. Military organisations
research has recently
focused on the utilization
of cyborg animals for inter
species relationship for
the purposes of a
supposed a tactical
advantages
26. The term cyborgs not only applies to the
humans,but to animals as well
Some of the best examples of such
animals cyborgs one from the ocean,but such
research is relatively new
27. ADVANTAGES
prolongs life
enables one to lead a normal life
Give a part of the body back
Improves the quality of life
DISADVANTAGES
Training is needed for doctors
They are all Expensive
Pyschological problems
Feeling different to everyone else
The risk of rejection
Pain during operations
28. The use of such technology will
upgrade human turning them into cyborgs,
presents a much more difficult problem. Who
gets an implant and who doesn’t? Who
controls their use? Indeed should humans be
allowed to upgrade their capabilities and
‘super humans’? Humans now have the
potential to control another aspect of their
own destiny. It will be interesting to see how
quickly and easily this will be brought about.
29. The idea is that in the future we may have
more and more artificial body parts
arms,legs,hearts,eyes and so on..
