Gone are the days when losing a limb or organ was permanent. With smaller microprocessors leading the way, robotic limbs and artificial organs have moved from fiction to reality. Advancements in biomimicry, artificial neurons, and sugar-powered robotics have made these innovations feasible and profitable. From microchips adjusting hydraulic systems in artificial legs to implants monitoring and administering insulin, the possibilities are endless. Cybernetics expert Kevin Warwick envisions a future where humans and machines merge, creating cyborgs. Explore the forefront of cybernetic prosthetics and the potential they hold for transforming lives.

Cybernetic Prosthetics Kendric Evans Gone are the days when losing a limb or organ was permanent With the advent of smaller microprocessors and businesses beginning to see dollar signs, robotic limbs and artificial organs are no longer confined to science fiction. Significant advancements in the fields of biomimicry, artificial neurons, robotic muscles and sugar-powered robotics have made such things not only feasible, but profitable. Microchips in artificial legs can detect when weight is put on it and adjust hydraulics to accommodate that weight. Implants for diabetics may soon be able to determine if they need insulin and administer it automatically. How far will it go? “One possibility is to link humans with machines, to create cyborgs, part human, part machine” ~Kevin Warwick, Professor of cybernetics
