LATEST TECHNOLOGY

• At present Cyborgology concentrates on the development of Conditional cyborgs.

• That is living being with a mechanical body part which is replaced for the damaged or lost body part.

ROBOTS & CYBORGS

Robots• A robot doesn't

necessarily have toresemble a human.

• It can be in the shape of a dog, or one of those giant arms in a carfactory.
