Abstract
The term “Cyborgs” (short for cybernetic organism) was coined in 1960 by Manfred E. Clynes and Nathan S. Kline in their article “Cyborgs and Space” about creating self-regulating man-machine systems to meet the requirements of extraterrestrial environments [2].
“Robots are not only a mistaken metaphor for the dehumanization of the body but also for the future sentience of machines.”
