Apparently some Russian guy called Dmitry Itskov wants to create Cyborgs. Itskov is 100% serious about wanting to make humans immortal by merging them with machines, and he's been pushing the project forward since 2011 when he founded the 2045 Initiative, ostensibly the deadline for "substance-independent" minds to receive artificial bodies — what some scientists refer to as the Singularity. :think:
"The first goal, called Avatar A, involves a person controlling a robotic human replica via a brain-machine interface (BMI), a technology that already exists today. That deadline is set for 2020.
Next up is Avatar B, due 2025, which would involve transplanting a human brain into an artificial body "at the end of one's life."
Don't worry too much about that, though, since Itskov will take care of it by the time Avatar C rolls around in 2035, which would also involve a human-machine brain transplant, only this time with all personality intact. To achieve this step, it will be necessary to create a computer model of human consciousness.
Finally, by 2045, Itskov hopes the Initiative will have learned enough about the human mind to free it completely from physical form. From the Internet-like hive mind, individual personalities could manifest themselves as holograms when they need to interact with their environment."

Interesting read.
Kinda scary to think robots could eventually be walking among us. Could end up being like i Robot:blank:
