you are talking to me and not my double. dmitri it's called does not put his hopes in such dreams instead as a successful businessman he has gathered many scientists doctors and inventors their chief goal is to create the perfect body to give it soul and consciousness of a human being. but him to them we hope that at some point we just have to perform a painless transfer of the mind of the person falls asleep and wakes up in another body where he feels just as comfortable. dimitri is called was inspired by the hollywood film surrogates it shows the possibility of creating a human double a surrogate cyborg controlled by the force of thought and imagination would be done without leaving one's home. computers and computer intelligence exceeds human intelligence and then what happens in that sort of
8:44 am
perhaps more of the terminator scenario you know what happens when the machines become self-aware enough to realize it we don't need these people and in fact these people are kind of screwed up the planet. surrogates begins with a lib or a trick creating a replica of a human controlled. by the human mind the surrogates of the future cannot be distinguished from the human counterparts but it's obvious that the first surrogates are a combination of man and machine kevin warrick has volunteered to be a human cyborg. first imply that i had a murderer. here we go this is show you what it looked like so this was the first implant. that's right e.o. frequency identification device and that was implanted in my left arm just up here so pushed in that point and what we use this for was simply as i moved
8:45 am
around my building here in reading in england and the computer knew where i was at particular points so i would open doors for me and switched on lights and said hello and having studied the experiences of those who use cybernetic limbs work agreed to more surgery this time a more sophisticated chip will be implanted into his arms nervous to shoot operations like a. little bit nervous but i think much. more exciting than anything else i really feel love with doing now is the big day. it's actually doing some soil where i actually have a choice of the way i think. the operation lasted for several hours rick was worried about whether the new device would be rejected by his body but the surgery
8:46 am
was successful as a result the scientist could subject himself to more experimentation. one of the experiments i did was to drive a wilcher around just from my neural signals so it's the sort of thing that a paralyzed person could they could drive themselves in a car just by thinking about moving if you like. robyn f. ecan system a swede lost his right arm a few years ago it was he who was the first patient to test an experimental device called the smart hand scientists connected more than forty sensors from this artificial device to his arm then able him to move his bio nick hand and feel the touch of objects. that precious even can be transposed to a specific area the skin of the remaining head and if you find the right spots to stimulate we know that also the areas of the brain court case went back to it.
8:47 am
it took robin only one day of training to learn to control the artificial limb as he would his own arm to start with he made the device stimulate the movements of his other hand later he learned how to get it to perform operations on its own. more importantly robin even recalled how it felt when he touched something. bigger put there now i can give orders for my bring to my body which i haven't done in years but when you can control your movements it's great i haven't felt like this for a long time so when i take something and i can feel it in them again it is so weird because i don't have a real hand if you but the fact that i can feel it again it's indescribable meanwhile kevin warrick the volunteer cyborg has undertaken an even more ambitious task this time a symbiosis of living organisms and.
