Youbionic Combines 3D Printed Bionic Arms with SpotMini the Nightmare Robotic Dog
Ever since 2014, Italy-based Youbionic, which was founded by Federico Ciccarese and specializes in robotics and bionics, has been working on its 3D printed, robot-controlled, bionic prosthetic hand. The company started taking pre-orders for the bionic prosthetic two years ago, and has since been making improvements and updates to the original model, even coming out with a 3D printed double hand device for the augmented human. Now, Youbionic has released its latest bionic product – the Youbionic One.
“We believe that technology at our disposal today can be used for the increase in human capabilities and intervention in the replacement of parts of our body which are not working properly,” Ciccarese wrote in an email.
“Youbionic is committed every day to create technologies that can elevate mankind to a higher level.”

Here’s a 2-min video of my recent talk in #Dubai for the inaugural #GSTalksUAE event. I was really excited that the UAE Prime Minister’s Office brought me in to talk specifically on #transhumanism and how it might improve Government Services. In the last year, many countries around the world have been getting in touch with me to better understand transhumanism and our changing #future.

Fun news!
I’m in a popular new Netflix series called A User’s Guide to Cheating Death hosted by Timothy Caulfield. In “Season 2, Episode 5, Body Hacking”, my transhumanism work appears throughout the film but my longer interview feature section is near the end of the hour show. Lots of other transhumanists and biohackers in it too: Give it a watch! https://www.netflix.com/title/81015026
Four Blind People Go Home With New Bionic Eyes
Bionic Vision Technologies, a firm based in Australia, has announced that its bionic eye system has been used to restore a “sense of sight” to four completely blind people suffering from retinitis pigmentosa. The findings from the study, which was performed at Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital in Melbourne, were presented at the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists Scientific meeting.
Unlike previous studies of the technology that were limited to in-lab use, the four patients were able to use the system in their everyday environments.
Transhumanism Becoming the ‘Relentless Drumbeat’ Shaping Our Future – Advocate
Following recent trends in state-of-the-art developments, from cryptocurrencies and universal basic income to biohacking and the surveillance state, transhumanism has been moved into the limelight of political discourse to reshape humanity’s future.
Andrew Vladimirov, Information security specialist, biohacker and one of the original members of the Transhumanist Party UK, spoke in-depth with Sputnik about the rise of transhumanism and its implications.
