Project Bionic Yourself (B10N1C) is a small implant for your arm that makes you a bionic-superhero. The idea comes from utilizing technology to give you a super ability such as wireless control devices by moving a single finger, sense electromagnetic fields, and even scan RFID keys while all being stored inside your body. While these are a few examples, the possibilities range much further. It's also a user-integrated hacker tool that has the opportunity to change life as we know it. The goal of the B10N1C is to explore the application of a small, safe, robust implant that communicates with the outside world through technology and the various user interfaces found in one’s day to day life. The proposed project hinges on the idea of becoming bionically similar to Robocop. Using my knowledge of implantable materials (silicone, polyurethane, etc), I hope to upgrade my body to communicate with the tech-friendly culture that we live in today.

By having the system permanently embedded in your body, you have a different type of controlled environment which cannot be interfered with by the various day to day lives of people.

The electronic components within the system are small but require a 3D model to assist in keeping the system as small as possible. A draft of the 3D design can be see below.

NEW Solution for Arduino Wireless Reset
txyz.info • 09/29/2014 at 02:31 • 0 comments

I spent so much time trying to figure out how to wirelessly reset the Arduino, which is a requirement for uploading code to the processor.
I came up with a new solution for the wireless reset: On the programmer side, I have a powerful electromagnet connected through a power transistor to a RTS pin on a FTDI adapter. On B10N1C PCB I have a Hall effect sensor connected to a reset pin. HM 10/11 stays in design.
The electromagnet must be located close to the skin in order to accomplish the uploading code.
I have already a prototype for testing.

Super cool project! Like others, I would see a 32bit MCU better suited for the job than a tiny Atmega328. One of the suggestions of using an ESP8266 for wifi + arm processor was a good one although I'm not sure about energy consumption...

Hit me up if you're still looking for beta testers :)

If there is any way I can help you with?

I am willing to test this on myself when a prototype is ready and I am also willing to fund your project.

I can also involve in coding or electronics. Since I am a student in electrical engineering doing my bachelor, I could maybe help you if you need some help.

Are you sure? yes | no

Cool project. Very cool renderings. Can you shortly point out how you did them? What's your toolchain?

Thanks

John August wrote 06/14/2015 at 03:56 • point

This is pretty cool. I would love to have something like this but I WOULD be concerned about the health effects. Personally, I wouldn't use this unless the enclosure were hermetically sealed in surgical titanium. I know this might be unreasonable for several reasons (including RF shielding which would severely hinder communications) but I wouldn't want a brittle plastic in my arm that could break if I fell on it. (I know this is a little unlikely, but it's just me) Also, I think you should work on getting it smaller. Believe me, I am aware of how difficult that can be, but for something IN my body, I'd like it to be as space saving as possible! Still, nice work, I like this one!

Are you sure? yes | no
