What Does a Biochemical Engineer Do?

"Biochemical electronic man (bionic man)" refers to a robot manufactured for the purpose of simulating a human, and it also has the names "imitation human" or "humanoid robot". A group of U.S. engineers have used artificial organs, limbs and other body tissues to successfully assemble realistic biochemical electronic humans who can breathe, talk and walk. Publicly appeared at the New York International Comic and Animation Fair on October 11, 2013.

Biochemical electronic man

A group of U.S. engineers used artificial organs, limbs, and other body tissues to successfully assemble a realistic bionic man who can breathe, talk, and walk. It was unveiled on October 11, 2013 at the New York International Comic-Con. The robot is 6.5 feet tall (approximately 1.98 meters) and has approximately 60% to 70% of the real human functions. It can walk, sit and stand with the help of Rex walkers. It is equipped with an artificial heart, which can use electronic tools to beat and promote artificial blood circulation, delivering oxygen like humans. It also replaces modern kidney dialysis machines with implanted artificial kidneys, with components such as implanted electronic ears and retinas. Although many components used by the robot can perform the necessary functions, they are still far from being used by the human body. For example, its artificial kidney is just a prototype. It also lacks many important components, no digestive system, liver or skin. Of course, it has no brains. ^[1]

Richard Walker, director of Shadow Robotics, said that the managing director and robotics specialists of Shadow Robotics Ltd. are leading the project. ^[2] He said that the assembly of biochemical electronic humans is intended to show how much progress has been made in medicine. It is hoped that the display technology can provide beautiful prosthetics for people who have lost their nose or other limbs due to accidents or illness. ^[1]
