A Seminar Presentation OnCYBORG
INTRODUCTION
A CYBORG, short for " cybernetic organism ", is a being with both organic and mechanical parts of living creatures or human.
CYBORG is a combination between living creature and machine . It is different from robotics.
CYBORG Technology is used for repair or overcome from physical or mental desease.
INTRODUCTION
We can define a CYBORG using block diagram as below:

KEVIN WARWICK:CAPTAIN CYBORG
KEVIN WARWICK(born 9 February 1954) is a British scientist and professor of cybernetics at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom.
KEVIN WARWICK:CAPTAIN CYBORG
He is the most famous Cyborg because of his research.He is known for his studies on direct interfaces between computer systems and the human nervous system, and has also done research in the field of robotics.
Warwick carries out research in artificial intelligence, biomedical engineering, control systems and robotics.
Project Cyborg
In “Project Cyborg” Warwick implanted a computer chip in his arm with the aim of becoming a Cyborg.By means of the implant,Warwick‘s nervous system was connected onto the internet in Columbia University,New York
Project Cyborg
A highly publicised extension to the experiment, in which a simpler array was implanted into the arm of Warwick's wife, it resulted in the first direct and purely electronic communication between the nervous systems of two humans
REAL LIFE HUMAN CYBORGS
NEIL HARBISSON
Neil Harbisson was born with extreme colorblindness that meant he could only see in black-and-white, he is now capable of experiencing colors beyond the scope of normal human perception.
NEIL HARBISSON
Harbisson is equipped with a specialized electronic eye, or eyeborg, which renders perceived colors as sounds on the musical scale
Jesse Sullivan
He effectively became one of the world's first cyborgs when he was equipped with a bionic limb, connected through a nerve-muscle graft. Not only can Sullivan control his new limb with his mind, he can also feel hot, cold, and the amount of pressure his grip is applying.
Jens Naumann
After a pair of horrific accidents, Jens Naumann was struck blind in both eyes. In 2002, Naumann became the first person in the world to receive an artificial vision system. His electronic eye is connected directly to his visual cortex through brain implants
Jerry Jalava
After losing a finger in a motorcycle accident, Jalava decided to embed a 2GB USB port into his finger.
Cameron Clapp
When he was 14, he collapsed and fainted along a railroad track. When the train passed, he unfortunately lost both of his legs plus an arm. He got fitted with a couple of prosthetic legs controlled by his brain with the help of a microprocessor
ANIMAL CYBORGS
The US-based company Backyard Brains released what they refer to as "The world's first commercially available cyborg" called the RoboRoach.
