The fantastic sci-fi blog io9 has a great article on cybernetic implants. I’ll just steal the linked YouTube vids and then point you to their article.

Ah, right, the link.

• Cyberpunk Tech 9 – Cyberarm
• Cyberpunk Tech 8 – Exosceleton
• Cyberpunk Tech 7 – Brain-Computer interface
• Cyberpunk Tech 6 – Cyberarm
• Cyberpunk Tech 5 – Autos and motorcycles
• Cyberpunk Tech 4 – Cybereye with telescope
• Cyberpunk Tech 3 – Bionic Arm
• Cyberpunk Tech 2 – artifical hand and muscles
• Cyberpunk Tech 1 – Roboter tastert ohne humane Kontrolle Menschen

I found another video report about a “current-day” Cyberarm. It’s amazing what “we” can do today. Now process this thing on to a designer to give it adecent style, add some of the hydraulics of the exoskeleton mentioned elsewhere here on cyberpunk2020.de, and we’re good to go

Here’s the Link to the Video

You got to watch this amazing movie! He can pick up a screw with this arm! It has enough feedback for the user to drink from a glass bottle without breaking it.

Older news showing todays technological advances as predicted by the Cyberpunk Writers:

• Cyberpunk Tech 8 – Exosceleton
• Cyberpunk Tech 7 – Brain-Computer interface
• Cyberpunk Tech 6 – Cyberarm
• Cyberpunk Tech 5 – Autos and motorcycles
  
• Cyberpunk Tech 4 – Cybereye with telescope

• Cyberpunk Tech 1 – Roboter tastert ohne humane Kontrolle Menschen

Auf dem Weg zum Cyberarm macht die Wissenschaft Fortschritte. Wie Spiegel Online meldet, können jetzt zwei Menschen mit der Handprothese etwas fühlen:

US-Forscher haben bei Mitchell und einem 54-jährigen die Nerven so umoperiert, dass die Empfindungen der verlorenen Hände auf der Brusthaut spürbar wurden.

Dafür lass ich mir die Hand noch nicht abhacken – ich warte mindestens bis die Cyberfinger einzeln erhältlich sind…

“The antique arm whined as he reached for another mug. It was a Russian military prosthesis, a seven-function force-feedback manipulator, cased in grubby pink plastic.”
– William Gibson, Neuromancer

Festo, a german corp, has a movie of a really cool hydraulic cyberarm on their site. Its so cool I want one. The movie indicates that the arm has enough tactile response to write on a touchscreen.

I found the link on lo-fi-samurai‘s blog, which is very worth the time you spend there. He was the one I stole both the link and the quote from – I only added William Gibsons name and the title of the book.
