it comes as coming up out tech shows she looks at a robotic suit that teaches paraplegics to walk again as official frank we'll have more news headlines up the top of the hour in the meantime there's always a website t w dot com we're also on social media twitter and instagram at the good news i'm rebecca resists and stay with us. people in trucks injured when trying to treat a city center more and more refugees are being turned away for the one time seems. to be critical in the sleeve the best and the strangest the least extreme dream up coming to. cut. costs for the ultra modern

300000000 people who are seeking. the us from the marketplace because no one should have to sleep played the and make up your own mind to come up w. . made for mines. getting stronger and smarter through technology this dream is quickly becoming reality researchers and developers are driving for the digital optimization of humans with mind blowing results will be all soon become cyborgs today's topic on. the cybernetic organism or cyborg for short has played a major role in pop culture for example in the movie robocop

a police officer with potentially fatal injuries becomes the super cop with his high tech implants tony stark from the marvel universe can fly in his eye and superman's police updates his hand with to gain new powers and skills these days even real life humans and their bodies with the physical components they called themselves cyborgs or bio hackers harvesting from britain is one of them he's colorblind and has no intent to that converts calos into sounds and unlike the human eye his intent i can even detect infrared and ultraviolet he has a chip implanted in his head to make this work pretty intense but actually there are lots of scientists and companies working on brain computer interfaces they allow direct communication between brain and computer so you can control device with your mind but it's not just a gimmick it can fundamentally improve the lives of people with spinal injuries on your logical disorders us tech titan mosque is developing

a brain computer interface at a start up neural that the team implanted chips in both brain hemispheres of the macaque pager they then taught him to play a game with a joystick and is now of signals were transmitted to a computer by a bluetooth pager was fed bananas movie through a tube as a reward when the researchers the activated the joystick pager controlled the game with his paws alone the computer had learned to interpret the brain activity but the audio. bias is that humans can control the mind even with a brain chip like buy only prosthesis that replace missing body parts but this game of daniel melville even uses one when he plays video games but pieces can also give people brand new powers how would you like a. this prosthetic makes it possible to do things that usually require 2 hands. this is connected to a wristband with

a motor which drives the thumb to receive signals via bluetooth from pressure sensors attached to the shoes the user can control the prosthesis by moving their big. news elan born scientist danny clode developed the 3rd in london and she wants to show that prosthetics don't always have to replace what's missing they can also provide an add on and upgrade. what's fascinating is after just 5 days of training with the 3rd you assign themselves had formed in the test subjects brains and the way they use their normal fingers have changed other developments like this that blur the line between human and machine sometimes on the skin sometimes of the skin might look like a temporary tattoo but this is actually a communication interface made from gold leaf. was invented by the

massachusetts institute of technology one version works like a touchpad while another uses near field communication for n.f.c. technology to communicate with other interfaces. in the future when you walk into a tattoo parlor you would come out with a tattoo like this they will not only be very sophisticated technically but they will become an extension of yourself. often for. get your accused eric frisk can open his door in sweden with a microchip implanted under his skin it's the size of a grain of rice and works like a card in a hotel it's estimated that 50000 people around the world already where one of the plants they can't even be ordered online and the interesting thing is when the chips start getting smarter and start having you know sensors and things like that so instead of just opening

a door maybe i can have continuously record my my body temperature my blood sugar level etc etc. and actually give me useful information about my body. but technology that literally gets under your skin isn't for everyone implants are just one way to become a cyborg now also exudes called exoskeletons they promise more strength and better . heavy lifting uncomfortable work exoskeletons could someday help people reduce the strain on their backs originally developed for medical and military use they're now increasingly deployed in the automotive industry and logistics many see it as win win employees stay healthier and companies profit from the increased efficiency and production. robotic

technology that makes work more arrogant under intensive development predominantly in the u.s. and germany but also in china and japan. we want to create devices that help people in their workplace and to make these tools more accessible and easy to use i don't think humans will ever become dispensable. there are only a few companies that are designing completely automated. systems because they require considerate investment so i think we'll always have human workers. the exoskeleton created by japanese company i've told has been in use for years in production. and in japan's biggest airports. for a half kilogram like a rucksack it has a sensor that detects the wares movements so when lifting 2 motors in the suit

automatically support the user's movement. the motors deactivate when the user is walking. in. countries like japan are increasingly relying on robotics because of an aging population workforces are becoming depleted. right now we mainly make support devices but in the future we want to create products that enhance people's abilities and add physical function like a 3rd are we want to cater to a society in which people of all ages can work without physical limits. and it could get much more spectacular than. that have been working for more than 10 years on this mega exo suit called neo i was even allowed to try it out during my visit to japan i felt like lieutenant ripley and the classic aliens with supernatural powers the developers claim that alone can lift up to 50 kilograms it's hoped that . the construction industry or in disaster management. have

a growing role in the medical sector as well what's special about this model from the past is that it's controlled by nerve impulses how is its name stands for hybrid assisted living as an ultimate goal even paraplegics could train with and learn to walk again i call it because andrew boe went to test the exoskeleton the company cyberdyne in japan so these electrodes here will detect my brain signals and send. to this machine so that it will move for me so now i'm going to try to flatten and move my arm. it detects pretty well and now i'm going to try to lock my arm and planes. and it will still move for me.

to see that it's pretty cool but i do wonder does this kind of is this a does this go out of control sometimes know. a song. electrodes translate casandra brain signals into a command for the exoskeleton her brain sends the command move to the muscles via the spine the signal is detected by house built in sensors. the motor receives the signal and pal starts moving. this is more difficult for patients with paraplegia because the nerve connections are disrupted but if there are any remaining impulses how could provide beneficial treatment time for a little test walk because sandra is allowed to wear the exoskeleton herself it's attached to a bracket since it's designed for people with impaired mobility it's a very intimate. setting this is actually really like

starting training right now. i feel a little bit mechanic with my movement. but i think it is just getting used to the machine because now i feel a little more comfortable in it so now he's increasing the speed. the monitor displays casandra and her nerve signals as a way for. how works together with other areas systems to analyze the signals and evaluate user data. how do paralyzed people actually learn to walk again with the activation of muscle impulses creates a feedback effect that enables the brain to learn how to make the body walk again from scratch it's called neural feedback training it only works for about 20 to 30 percent of paraplegic patients but the results are still impressive. so with

other actual skeletons the movements are preprogramed so patients wearing the suit will have to rely on it permanently however with hell it teaches you how to walk again basically making the connections from your brain to your broken sentences so basically these patients go through the these trainings and at the end of the training they're able to walk again without the technology without the suit. was developed by japanese roboticist. he's the founder and c.e.o. . a professor at the university of. she believes these by only. ira step into a new age. i mean it's getting to think we're constantly wearing technology or strongly connected to it in that sense we're born cyborgs start to thank. you woody

as technology becomes more accessible we'll be able to use it without even being aware of it this phenomenon is the fusion of humans and technology and this symbiotic relationship will continue to develop we all becoming cyborgs or we already and if the technology becomes available soon won't people get left behind who don't want to be enhanced or who can't afford it. you abuse on cyber technology is this the chance for us all to upgrade or are you skeptical let us know for example on you tube there will also find more videos about you know musk's new reading project and the paralyzed man who controls an exoskeleton with his mind take a. rest

. a race against time with an eco friendly. cameo electric take on for as peter google. challenge from rush lunchtime several. champions. red. traffic. heads. they love. she will fix drive it into. the litter litter the litter. they're fighting against

prejudice i don't hold cable like i did nothing i'm just going to look. for a brick. yard little stars on the big stage. still it's 17. w. . who said i need them to leave me right if you can see what it means maybe that i didn't say isn't is now working so hopefully we can actually start to housing the cogito. we are living during the most extraordinary time in history. right
