Meet Frank, a robot made of prosthetic limbs and body parts. He has a
beating heart and complete circulatory system. He's the world's first
full Bionic Man to be introduced at the Smithsonian's National Air and
Space Museum at Washington, D.C.
It's not fake. He's real...and he's the first! Frank, the 'bionic man' is 6 feet and weighs 170 lbs. His face is made of synthetic parts and modeled after Bertolt Meyer, a social psychologists from the University of Zurich in Switzerland. Meyer thought it was awkward when he first saw his replica. Meyer will also be hosting the documentary created to show the making of Frank and shed insight on the bionic man.
Frank's voice is similar to Siri on an Apple iPhone, and his personality is programmed to mimic a 13-year-old Ukrainian boy. This robot cost a whopping $1 million. Not bad at all, in comparison to many expensive projects that scientists attempt which eats up taxpayers' money. Frank has over 2/3rd of the human body. He has an artificial heart, a programmed, legs, pancreas, head, see-through chest, and some body parts you probably didn't know existed. These artificial organs were actually donated from laboratories around the world. So, it's a joint effort of several global scientists.
Frank, however, does not have a liver, stomach, and intestines because they are too complicated to generate in a lab. Frank's assembly took 3 months and was directed by roboticists Rich Walker and Matthew Godden of Shadow Robot Co. in England. This is a ground-breaking scientific development. Scientist and roboticists never cease to amaze me.
I don't know if Frank is worth the cost of a flight to Washington. Nevertheless, I'm willing to check out the documentary premiering on October 20. I'm interested in knowing how these scientists replicated Frank's prosthetic body parts.
The creation of this bionic man raises some ethical questions: "Does creating something so life-like threaten notions of what it means to be human? What amount of body enhancement should be allowed or acceptable? And is it wrong that only some people have access to these life-extending technologies?

- Aio-Ti Timeless These are what Western Multi nations are going to used to replace Humans, The Human race really need to wake up
- Endy Edeson @timeless, some people (especially Africans) are of the opinion that creation of human robots is against God. what is your take on this?
- Aio-Ti Timeless West, the fact is that the west have already using Human clone to carry out deadly missions across the world there lot of information that will blow your mind away about their plan to depopulation humanity to a controllable numbers to enable the global Elites accomplished the New world order. I can forward you some interest documents that was published on NASA website sometime ago if you like and you discover some very worrying facts aboout this world we live in
- Aio-Ti Timeless well there are already clone Super Soldiers being created by Britain and the USA watch this interview with this clone Supper soldier called Micheal Prince http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adE3SE6Sa-kThis interview may not be for everyone. It contains some rather shocking point b...See more
