3. • CYBORG is short name of “cybernetic
organism”
• CYBORG is a combination between man and
machine
• Different from a robot
• Used to repair or

and mental constraints
4. History
The idea of a man-machine mixture was
popular in science fiction before world war II.
In 1960 manfred clynes and nathen kine had
combined the words cybernetics and organism
to form a new term ::CYBORG.
The beginning of the cyborg creation began
when HCI(human computer interaction) began.
5. Kevin warwick
• Kevin warwick is professor of
cybernetics at the university
of reading.
• The world’s leading expert in
cybernetics.
• He fired an array of 100 electrodes himself
into his nervous system in order to link
with internet to control a robotic hand ,a
loudspeaker and amplifier.
6. • In recent science fiction movie “IRON MAN 3”,
Tony Stark injected electrodes into his hands
like Kevin Warwick for sake of recognizing him
by his iron suite.
8. Vision Enhancing Contact
Lens
It looks like a contact lens
with additional features.
We are recognize people
Very smartly using this.
9. All of u know that this kind of lens used in MISSION
IMPOSSIBLE MOVIE.
10. The Boston Retinal Implant
Project
• Goal of this project is to help
people see better and remember
things better.
• Ex.: you can associate a name with
a face, so that it can help to not
forget faces.

20. 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.
21. Military
DAPRA is developing remote
control mechanical shark.(The
cyborg which represent sea
organisms are called marine
cyborgs)
It provide data feedback in
relation to enemy ship
movement or under water
explosives.
DAPRA has announced its
interest in developing “CYBORG
INSECTS”.
controlled from a Micro-Electro-
Mechanical system(MEMS)
22. Art
The concept of art is often
associated with science
fiction.
Many artists have tried
to create public
awareness of cybernetic
organisms.
23. 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.
24. 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.
25. DIFFERENCE
CYBROGS
Cyborgs are a combination of a
living organism and a machine.
It doesn’t necessarily have to be
human; it can be a dog, a bird,
or any other living thing.
A cyborg is a combination of an
organism with a machine.Its a
part of living beings.
Cyborgs are typically very
complex.
ROBOT
A robot is basically a machine
that is very advanced . It is
often automated and requires
very little interaction with
humans.
A robot is an automated
machine.Its not alive.
Robots can be simple or very
complex.
27. 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.
28. Disadvantages
• Cyborgs have physical
limitations.
• Cyborgs do not heal Body
damage normally
• Cyborgs are very expensive.
• Requires maintenance
• The risk of rejection/infection.
29. 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.
