As we continue to
develop technology, robotic parts are becoming more and more a part
of our future. Prosthetic robot arms and legs are now realistically
affordable, providing amputees with close to normal functionality
with these devices integrated into their bodies. Researchers are
working on implants to improve brain activity and nano-robots to
cleanse our arteries. Robotic exo-suits are even in use in some
parts of the world that enable the user to lift heavy objects, and
the Army has recently designed a robotic arm exoskeleton to steady a
person's arm while shooting. Yet, other varieties of robots and
robotic interfaces are being developed that might surprise you, with
a variety of design intentions—in addition to improved military
performance, there are devices that enable physical interactions in
online social environments, and even bionic eyes that allow the blind
to see. With all of these robotic innovations and “replacement
parts,” what kind of a future will we see in the next few decades?
