The merging of humans with machines is no longer news. Every day, complex human-machine cyborgs are formed. Could this be a fulfillment of the assertions made by Elon Musk recently?
“For humans to survive and progress as a specie, we need to merge with machines and become cyborgs” – Elon Musk
Strength augmentation
What is the maximum weight a human arm can life? Maybe some few kilograms. But what if I tell you that the human arm can be made to life over 0.5 tons (500kg)? Well, welcome to the world of cybernatics.
Sarcos Robotics has created a mind-blowing robotic arm; Guardian T, which will give humans edge and ultimately turning them into superhumans.
Guardian T
This is a 7foot cybernetic arm which will enable humans lift over 500kg of material. Not to talk of other cool abilities it comes with. The cybernetic arm draws its power from a diesel motor and can run for 7hrs straight.
Science-fiction has almost merged with our real world
Before now, prosthesis were seen as aid to disabilities, but all these are about to change. Now prosthetic limbs are now willingly subscribed to; maybe to increase strength, or to increase viability. But believe me, this is just the beginning of cybernetic revolution.
World of metal muscle
The human muscles sure do have limitations, no matter how developed they may be. But there is a way to boost that; which is the metal muscle. This will not just help disabled humans lead a fairly normal life, but will also give normal people superhuman abilities.
This invention will revolutionize how humans lift heavy objects. The need for forklift could be permanently sidelined. Why would humans need forklift when they can get the job done?
I really hope this tech will not fall into the wrong hands. Because the abilities are limitless.
