Visionary

I may be disclosing my age here, but does anyone remember the series The Six-Million Dollar Man and its spin-off, the Bionic Woman? NASA Astronaut Steve Austin (who was wonderfully portrayed by Lee Majors), was severely injured during a crash. He was ‘rebuilt’ in an operation costing six million dollars (hence the name of the series). All in all, Austin received bionic legs, a left eye and a right arm. These bionic implants enhanced his vision, speed and strength, making his capabilities much higher than those of a typical human: His limbs are as powerful as a bulldozer, his eye has infrared capabilities and a 20:1 zoom lens, he can also run up to 60 mph. He uses all of these enhanced abilities working as a Secret Agent for the Office of Scientific Intelligence. Well, there is a new Bionic Man in Town, and his name is Frank (short for Frankenstein). Yes, I am referring to this robot as a ‘he, him’ because, well, he does have a masculine name after all. Frankenstein, the Real Bionic Man Frank is named after the infamous Victor Frankenstein in the 1818 novel written by Mary Shelley, which was made into a movie in 1994. Frank is a 6’ tall robot that consists of artificial body parts that were donated to assist with Frank’s creation. The men behind the machine include roboticists Matthew Godden and Richard Walker: Alexander Seifalian is a professor of Nanotechnology and Regenerative Medicine at University College London. Seifalian created Frank’s organs using a polymer that is…
