In the light Donna Haraway’s work The Cyborg Manifesto this paper analyses difficulties of adapting model feminism in a developing country like India. Initially concept cyborg (Bell, 108) as introduced by Haraway is used to analyse implicit ideology Western science fiction movies. Through analysis popular western movies Alita: Battle Angel (2019) and Blade Runner 2049 (2017), absence gender dua...

Locomotion of an animal is generated through interactions among the nervous system, the musculo-skeletal system and the environment. We particularly focus on biomachine hybrid systems in order to understand dynamics of these interactions. We can modify balances of the interactions by bio-machine hybrid systems. In this study, we intend to deal with a frog cyborg driven by biological muscles.

The concept "cyberethnography" remains undefined in the social sciences while, at the same time, still overlapping too much with the more well-known concept of "virtual ethnography." The aim of our paper is to remedy this situation by underlining new directions in the ethnographic study of computer mediated settings. To do so, we define cyberspace as computer-mediated contexts intrinsically rel...

Some researchers have long been interested in reconstructing natural insects into steerable robots or vehicles. However, until recently, these so-called cyborg insects, biobots, or living machines existed only in science fiction. Owing to recent advances in nano/micro manufacturing, data processing, and anatomical and physiological biology, we can now stimulate living insects to induce user-des...

We present results from the first geological field tests of the ‘Cyborg Astrobiologist’, which is a wearable computer and video camcorder system that we are using to test and train a computer-vision system towards having some of the autonomous decision-making capabilities of a field-geologist. The Cyborg Astrobiologist platform has thus far been used for testing and development of these algorit...

For decades, scientists and engineers have been fascinated by cybernetic organisms, or cyborgs, that fuse artificial and natural systems. Cyborgs enable harnessing biological systems that have been honed by evolutionary forces over millennia to achieve astounding feats. Male moths can detect a single pheromone molecule, a sensitivity of roughly 10 grams. Thus, cyborgs can perform tasks at scale...
