The first Bionic Robot

Has Heart , blood, nose , legs , mouth and eyes like any human being . But it is not . His name is Rex and all organs have been built them . This Is the bionic man more fully built until now . His purpose in this life : Show As Technology is Able to replace certain contradiction of the Human Body .
The man – who is called Rex – can sense objects in front of him with retinal implants and cochlear implants to allow him to hear.
He incorporates some of the latest advances in mechanical limbs, as well as a heart and lungs, an artificial pancreas, kidney, spleen and trachea, and a functional blood circulatory system.

Prepare to be amazed, as some of the components of Rex are: a self teaching arm with 26 degrees of movement; glasses that send images to a microchip in the retina that sends the info to the computer brain; synthetic blood; artificial lungs, an artificial pancreas with insulin stored in gel which softens and liquefies in the presence of excess glucose; a self-regulating artificial kidney, made up of a silicon nanoscale filtration system; a man-made spleen, bladder, ear, trachea and arteries; cochlear implants; a speech generator; bionic ankles using a motor and spring system to mimic human calf muscle and Achilles tendon; and of course a battery powered heart.


According to Richard Walker, the lead roboticist at London-based Shadow Robot Company responsible for creating the bionic man, Rex was assembled to showcase the advances in aesthetic prostheses for people that have lost their limbs or part of their face and maybe even an organ. Having said that, while the organs worked well on Rex some like the kidney, are still in early trial phase and not ready to be used on humans yet

The future is now: The Science Museum exhibit opening on Thursday will explore changing perceptions of human identity against the background of rapid progress in bionics

Rex who was first unveiled at London's Science Museum in February of this year, made his way across the Atlantic neatly packed up in two suitcases, earlier this month. After meeting with his fans at New York's Comic-Con, the bionic man flew to the National Air and Space Museum, where he will will be on display for a few months for all to admire, before heading back to England
