There’s no doubt that technology has had a profound impact on the human body. We’ve gone from using simple tools to enhance our natural abilities, to having bionic implants that allow
Bionic limbs are primarily driven by residual or other movements of the body in response to the motion that the user intends to do. Fundamentally, each muscle group coordinates with another
“Mechanical eyes” is quite a strange term to use. But for the purposes of this article, we can classify it as a set of technologies that deal with providing the sense
The short answer to whether the blind can fully regain sight artificially is no. If we are talking about sci-fi-level high-tech ocular implants, we’re still several decades away from a working
Although batteries and other portable energy sources may have been developed independently from bionic limbs, their level of advancement also largely affected the functions and limitations of advanced prostheses. Without these
Bionic technology has always had a primary focus on restoration – the replacement of lost or malfunctioning body parts to get the user back to their normal life as quickly as
The idea of bionic gloves typically conjures up images that are more or less related to recreating the sense of touch. Or at least, it can be associated with any design
The bionic kidney technically classified as a bioartificial kidney promises a future free from the risks of transplant waiting lists. Artificial kidneys, as you might already know, are one of the
Disabled athletes competing as equals with regular athletes. High-tech prostheses that don’t need (too much) money to be worn by kids. These are innovations in bionic limbs that, to someone in
It’s quite astonishing to see how far we have come in developing bionic arms over the last few decades. Dexterity is still not quite at the sci-fi level, of course. But
