"Normal life is a goal that many people dream but they are unable to have it for various reasons. Cyborgs are the key for people to achieve this goal".
Introduction:
The technological innovation of robotic limbs had
started years ago. For instance, Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA) is an agency which is in charge of developing
technology that serves the military of United States. They started their project
of developing robotic limbs and their focus was on the lower part of the human
body. DARPA’s reason behind that was because the upper part is more complicated
and more challenging to develop. It took them 6 years to develop the robotic arm and 35 volunteers volunteered to
test the arm. In fact, they were seeking approval to start selling the arm in
the market in April 2012. Furthermore, John Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab had
helped in creating a brain control system for the arm. This project is aiming to
help the life of amputees and to make their dream of living a normal life a
reality.
