Beyond AI

Apart from AI, there are advances in other technologies. One such area is space technology. There would be more manned and unmanned space missions. Another area is health care. The most promising technology is medical robotics. There are exoskeletons to improve the range of motion and maximum isometric hip, knee and ankle strength in patients with muscular atrophy. Medical exoskeleton will soon be commercialised. It will be a useful technology in CNS-related diseases.

Another area is that of brain implants. Neuralink of Musk operates in this field. This is useful in paralytic patients. Here there is interface between the brain and the chip. The technology can be used to restore vision.

Xenotransplantation or transplantation of the organs of other animals into humans by overcoming immunity resistance is also being researched.

There is something called resurrecting the dead or necrobotics. Dead spiders have been exploited to pick up objects like other insects. Advantage is taken of the hydraulic force the spiders use. Air was given as input to the legs of dead spiders. Tesla’s humanoids perform myriad of tasks, e.g. lifting items or watering plants. Frankenstein’s monsters could work as domestic help and vie with humanoids. These smart machines will do our bidding.
