Yet More Cyborg Limb Anatomy

Description

GYAAAH, I CAN'T STOP!! I'm still on with the Cyborg Limb Anatomy, trying to ilustrate the degree of integration I envision betwixt organic and inorganic components. I figured I would make it a numerical diagram this time...To wit:

1 - Living bone
2 - Ceramic composite *
3 - Surgical steel anchor rods *
4 - Pliable silicone joint/actuator sheath
5 - Liquid silicone joint cushion in flexible polycarbon shell
6 - Electric drive motors for primary locomotory actuators
7 - Steel and graphite actuator cables
8 - Organic muscle and/or myoelectric carbon fiber bands (secondary locomotive actuators and fine motor control)

* Bones are cultured around these infrastructural elements

Of course, I'm only showing a very small portion of the underlying anatomy here. And then there would be a contour layer of neutral silicon and polycarbon mesh overlying the entire core anatomy, with buffered alloy attachment studs protruding, and then likely an additional layer of supplementary biological muscle over that, etc. etc. ...So again with the highly integrated engineering.

I've left some degree of ambiguity here in the remaining anatomical elements, but I think the materials composition can be implied or inferred from the above description. Organic materials, carbon fibers, solid or semi-solid silicones and alloy mesh--it's all joooood!

Playing in my mind: [link] .... "Just a cyborg arm ...."


Gahhhh,. I love these so much! I think one of the reasons is - the color! The vivid colors really suck the eye in and hold it, giving the viewer some immediate buy-in. That and I just love crazy anatomy :p

Think about the assembly of these things - they'd have to be partly grown over an assembled framework???
