Remember the old TV show The 6 Million Dollar Man with Lee Majors or the more recent Bionic Woman? The premise of these fictional shows was that after some kind of horrible accident, science was able to “rebuild” a human using robotics and cutting edge science & theory. The resulting upgrades gave the person enhanced strength, speed and vision. The only drawback to the whole process was the cost. Luckily there was always some quasi-governmental institution to pay for everything because nothing says “good intentions” like a shadow organization with it’s own agenda.
Well, science has unfortunately advanced so far that the cost for many of the upgrades is now much more affordable. The Institute of Engineering and Technology in London looked into cutting-edge robotics and technology now available to put into a human. These “upgrades” include the eyes, hands, legs and overall strength; all things a hybrid robot can use to conquer humanity.
