Tiny ISS Robot Performs First Simulated Surgery in Space

A two-pound cyborg surgeon performed its first simulated procedure in space, dissecting rubber bands that resemble elastic tissue to prepare for medical procedures to be carried out remotely in the microgravity environment.Uh Oh, Amazon Bought Your Favorite Robot CompanyOn Saturday, spaceMIRA (Miniaturized In-vivo Robotic Assistant) carried out a demonstration whereby a human surgeon on Earth controlled the robot’s arms to cut through simulated human tissue on board the International Space Station (ISS), CNN reported. The…

Lab-created cyborg computer contains real human brain tissue

The human brain is unimaginably complex and powerful. In fact, no computer that mankind has built thus far has even come close. That’s why scientists have worked tirelessly to create cyborg computers, which blend the power of the human brain with the electronics of a computer.Now, researchers led by Feng Guo, an engineer from Indiana University Bloomington, have managed to create a computer using human brain tissue. The result is a more brain-like computer that is less accurate than a computer made purely of…

Researchers fuse lab-grown human brain tissue with electronics

In a story ripped from the opening scenes of a sci-fi horror movie, scientists have bridged a critical gap between the biological and electronic. The study, published in Nature Electronics (summarized in Nature), details a “hybrid biocomputer” combining lab-grown human brain tissue with conventional circuits and AI. Dubbed Brainoware, the system learned to identify voices with 78 percent accuracy. It could one day lead to silicon microchips fused with neurons.Brainoware combines brain organoids — stem-cell-derived…

Magic realism or really magical? Japanese researchers develop cyborg arms inspired by Nobel-winning author’s short story

A team of six Japanese researchers led by Dr Masahiko Inami at the University of Tokyo has developed wearable robotic arms inspired by the Japanese concept of “jizai” which signifies autonomy and free will. The cyborg arms aim to ‘unlock creativity’ as the teaser for the arms shows two ballet dancers wearing the arms and performing an act. A report by Reuters quoted Inami saying that the arms are not rivals to humans, instead they “ us do as we please, like a bicycle or e-bike.”Inami has said that he was inspired by the…

Scientists Create Cyborg Bacteria – Scientific American

Scientists have implanted an artificial hydrogel scaffold into bacteria to create semisynthetic “cyborg cells” that could one day function as tiny robots in medicine, environmental cleanups and industrial production, according to a recent study in Advanced Science. In addition to making the cells hardier, this scaffolding eliminates their ability to reproduce so they can be controlled better than genetically modified live bacteria. The cyborg cells are also easier to create than fully artificial cells of similar…
