The document discusses cyborgs, which are organisms that have both biological and mechanical components. It defines cyborgs and different types, including individual cyborgs which have prosthetics, and social cyborgs which are larger networks. Examples are given of current and fictional cyborgs, and applications in fields like the military, medicine, art, marine research and popular culture. Both advantages like enabling normal life and disadvantages like high costs and maintenance needs are outlined. The conclusion is that artificial body parts may improve quality of life but also have risks.
2. INTRODUCTION
SCIENCE has
achieved
wonders. One of
the thing that
science has given
us is “CYBORG”
3. • CYBORG is a combination
between man and machine
• Different from a robot
• Used to repair or overcome
physical and mental
constraints
4. KEVIN WARWICK has taken the first steps on
this path.
MANFRED CLYNES coined the term cyborg.
5. CYBORG-TYPES
INDIVIDUAL CYBORG.
It is used to refer to a
human with bionic, or
robotic.
Artificial objects such as
prosthesis are so closely
attached human bodies
as to be considered as a
part of one’s body
6. Today the C-Leg system developed by Otto Bock
HealthCare is used to replace a human leg that has
been amputated because
of injury or illness.
In 2004, a British and
completely colorblind
artist, Neil Harbisson,
started wearing an
eyeborg on his head in
order to hear colors
7. SOCIAL CYBORG
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 use
of replaceable human
components to function
8. Application of Cyborg Technology

9. Medicines
There are 2 types of
cyborgs-
1. Restorative-retore lost
functions, organs &
limbs.
2. Enhanced-follows a
principle,& it is the
principle of optimal
performance.
11. Art
The concept of art is often
associated with science
fiction.
Stelarc –from 1976 to 1988
he completed 25 body
suspension performance
with hook into the skin.
Waffa Bilal-
an iraqi- american
performance artist.
13. CYBORGIZATION IN CRITICAL
DEAF STUDIES
“Cyborgization" is an attempt to codify
"normalization“.
Hearing aids are widely used and can help
assist individuals that are hard of hearing.
14. CYBORGS IN
POPULAR CULTURE
Cyborgs have become a well-
known part of science, fiction
literature and other media.
Examples of fictional biologically
based cyborgs include Iron
Man, Robo Cop etc.
16. Advantages
• Enables to lead a normal life
• Gives artificial sight to blind
people.
• Long life of the mechanical parts.
• Gives a part of the body back.
17. Disadvantages
• Cyborgs have physical limitations.
• Cyborgs do not heal Body
damage normally
• Cyborgs are very expensive.
• Requires maintenance
• The risk of rejection/infection.
21. CYBROGS
FOUNDATION
The Cyborg Foundation is a
nonprofit organization
created in 2010 by cyborg
activist and artist Neil
Harbisson
The mission of the
foundation is to help
humans become cyborgs,
to promote the use of
cybernetics as part of the
human body and to defend
cyborg rights.

23. CONCLUSION
• It seems that in future we may have more and more
artificial body parts like eyes,nose,hands and legs.
• It act as a boom to human body by improving the
quality and the life .
• But it also act as a curse.
