Become a Cybernetic Organism

Become a Cybernetic Organism - DIY Your Guts!

Left: Alita Battle Angel from the movie, showing off a body with the strength and agility of spectacular cyborg components

To become a Cybernetic Organism, i.e. cyborg, all you need to do is begin adding functional biomechatronic body parts. This is the scheduled path currently being taken by Humanoido this month in a process that will add an undetermined number of mechatronic parts to the one if the foremost parts in the human body - the heart.

The spectacular goal is to impart more power and longevity to the human heart by giving it some mechanistic characteristics of greater strength and longevity that will improve it. In the process, technically, a cyborg is born. The schedule is intended to achieve longer life by avoiding death in the short term and extending life in the long term. This is a four part surgical procedure with a time recovery lapse after each. Part one has already inserted three mechanistic parts into the heart system and staved off death by giving a new lease on life. Anyone at anytime can undergo the procedure, however it's more readily accepted that such operations will take place from middle age upwards. Take for example what the future might hold as portrayed by the movie Alita - Battle Angel, where the human brain is attached to a cyborg body that can live hundreds of years. Currently in the year 2022, we are just beginning to have advanced technology to make the possibility of such dreams coming true.

ALITA: In 2563, 300 years after Earth was devastated by a catastrophic war known as "The Fall", scientist Dr. Dyson Ido discovers a disembodied female cyborg with an intact human brain while scavenging for parts in the massive scrapyard of Iron City. Ido attaches a new cyborg body to the brain and names her "Alita" after his deceased daughter. Alita awakens with no memory of her past... Alita: Battle Angel is a 2019 American cyberpunk action film based on Yukito Kishiro's manga series Gunnm (or Battle Angel Alita in English). It was directed by Robert Rodriguez, produced by James Cameron and Jon Landau, and written by Cameron and Laeta Kalogridis. Rosa Salazar stars through performance-capture animation as Alita, a cyborg who awakens in a new body with no memory of her past and sets out to uncover her destiny. Wiki

The human heart is an organ that pumps blood throughout the body via the vessels of the circulatory system, supplying oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and removing carbon dioxide and other wastes.

The heart consists of several layers of a tough muscular wall, the myocardium. A thin layer of tissue, the pericardium, covers the outside, and another layer, the endocardium, lines the inside. The heart cavity is divided down the middle into a right and a left heart, which in turn are subdivided into two chambers.

Spectacular Big Brain Metaverse Changes

https://humanoidolabs.blogspot.com/2022/07/spectacular-big-brain-changes.html

Big Brain Technology Evolution

Humanoido, Father of the Big Brain, programmed the
machine in unique and creative ways by modifying the
processor chip firmware and hardware, increasing speed,
and adding a thousand new types of processors (VIP) to
each hardware chip core design.

Big Brain Technology Evolution

This paper recounts the most important evolutionary processes of consecutive brain technology advances by Humanoido at Big Brain Technologies Foundation and finally leading up to the current project of creating a half human half machine Transhuman, and also projecting the worthy goals going into the future.

Humanoido, Father of the Big Brain Machine, is on a lifetime quest of technology to become one with the machine. The ultimate prizes are becoming Transhuman (already achieved) and transferring the full biological brain into a machine brain for immortality. Time is running out. Will the final goal be achieved in this lifetime?

PROJECT 1  THE 1ST MACHINE HUMANOID
In 1954, the first humanoid included many human functions of speech, mobility, electronics, and a compartment waiting for a microprocessor thinking brain.

PROJECT 2  THINKING MACHINE BRAIN
By 2002, after almost 50 years of study, schooling, and technology evolution leading to the Microcomputer, the Humanoido foundation created the Lab's first thinking multiprocessor brain for use in its humanoid robots.

PROJECT 3  LARGEST MACHINE BRAIN
Upon seeing the success and rapid growth of a single machine brain, it was allowed to grow exponentially to the largest machine brain ever created in Humanoido's international world laboratories. This project established techniques of assimilation where the machine brain absorbed and consumed other powerful processing machines resulting in a mind numbing number of processors and increases in power and capabilities.

PROJECT 4 SUPERCOMPUTER
Based on the previous project, and the study and implementation of parallel thinking machine processors, along with relentless assimilation, the Big Brain Supercomputer was created.

PROJECT 5  AI MACHINE LIFE
Based on the full power of the new supercomputing entity, AI life and semi machine cognizance was established.

PROJECT 6  MACHINE BRAIN IN A JAR
A multiprocessor exampling machine brain was built inside a jar. It emulated a human brain Cortex, and was given self sustaining memory, renewable power, ability to think and learn, and the gift of speech.

PROJECT 7  TRANSFER HUMAN BRAIN INTO MACHINE BRAIN
The brain cortex in a jar project developed a cortex machine brain, demonstrated human-to-machine brain transfer, in particular to take some relatively simple human characteristics and transfer portions to the machine brain, whereby human traits could be given greater life longevity, leading towards immortality.

PROJECT 8  HUMAN TRANSFORMATION INTO MACHINE
The goal is the transformation of Humanoido human into Humanoido Transhuman. A Transhuman is part human and part machine. This massive one of a kind experiment creates a new 21st Century Man, an advancement in evolution towards the Singularity when man becomes one with the machine. In this case, the objective is to quantify enough replacement of the human side to create life longevity and to advance humans to the first century of the third millennium in fantastic futuristic ways.

PROJECT 9  THE FUTURE BRAIN
The new goal is to create a full size machine brain entirely capable of retaining and executing an uploaded human brain, as a replacement for a human brain in the quest for a better life, extended life and immortality.

Big Brain Small DIY Life Forms

Big Brain Small DIY Life Forms
The study is to develop small AI life forms for Big Brain experiments and for flights on SPACE1 Super Rockets

by Humanoido, Father of the Big Brain

Small life forms have many names and purposes. The idea is to sometimes shrink a human genetically to have the same abilities and senses but on a microscopic level.

Microscopic can mean several things - small under the optical microscope, nano size under the electron microscope, minuscule made for the magnifying glass, or just small and petite as in a few inches max height.

We will begin small and petite as these will be easier and lower cost to make. A list of basic functions are first required.

• Small size
• Communications
• Vision
• Feeling of vibration
• Experience weightlessness
• Memory
• Standing ability
• Optional movement

The small size must contain the shrunken hardware such as a tiny camera for vision, sensors to experience vibration, recording devices such as accelerometers to detect and measure velocity and the effects of gravity, and computer memory devices to remember experiences during the space flight. In the case of an Avatar, it must be linked to a modified human. Another good function is built in communications for wireless transmissions and to relay the experiences to ground control. For memory, the SD card will carry information that can be recorded during the flight and recalled later on the ground. Generally one eye will be enough for the life form, and added software can help create some senses. Tiny computers and very small SMTs are necessary, along with self contained power sources to last the duration of the missions. The species can stand or have the ability to move around with optional movements for legs, arms and/or upper torso.

Space1 Secret Rocket Space Hanger - Part 1

STEP 2: Clearing these trees was part of the operation of constructing a portable rocket space hanger

HOW TO BUILD - PART 1
SPACE1 SECRET ROCKET SPACE HANGER
One can build a non-permanent portable space hanger, that can temporarily house equipment, space machines, transports, and space craft, and/or serve as a rocket tool room. This secret hanger was constructed primarily by one person over a period of about one week. This blog will detail construction, and aspects of portability, while not revealing location.

STEP 1: Site survey during 2015

OVERVIEW
The secret space hanger is made from steel pipe and a durable UV treated and rip-stop poly woven skin. Overall, a site is leveled, a base laid down, and a steel pipe structure is erected and fastened to the base. The structure is made level and proportional, and the bolts and fastener brackets are tightened. Then skin is applied with ropes and tensioned with ratchets. There are three sections of skin, one at the front with the doors, one at the back, and one covering the top and sides. The base is dual anchored, to prevent sliding in strong wind, and to prevent the kiting effect of lift. The end result is a structure that has withstood an excess of 60 mph winds.

The Assembly Manual will show the design is for assembly by 3 to 5 people. The tips provided here show how to assemble by one person. If you are assembling this alone, the instruction manual will need revision. Do not assemble and complete the "trusses" and then try to erect into position as shown by the manual. Do assemble half of the truss, erect the first two and connect together, then add on one additional section at a time. Once this sub section is assembled, one side will be lifted up to attach the remaining pipes. The help of a friend is convenient, or you could put 2 saw horses under the assembly while you attach more pipes.

STEP 1 - SITE SURVEY
The first step is selecting the site by doing a site survey. The site must be large enough to encompass the structure size. As the structure is not permanent, it exhumes a secrecy for space work. The structure is low cost (about $500 for the main package compared to $15,000 for a non portable wood structure) and relatively light weight (it must be anchored when assembled) as it can be disassembled and transported to another location.

STEP 2 - CLEARING TREES
The next step is clearing the site from debris and trees as needed. Clearing trees may take a month, for vehicular and chain saws acquisition, chain saw maintenance and repair, cutting, trimming, loading, hauling, unloading and repeat disposal.

STEP 3 - PURCHASES
Purchase the structure and transport it to the site. Common structures, at different levels of quality, are available online, from Harbor Freight, Home Depot, Menards, and similar hardware stores, like Runnings, Farm & Home Supply, and TSC. This project describes a Menards Round Top Garage version that came in two boxes. Other descriptions include garage in a box and storage shed. This unit is ShelterLogic brand. MENARDS is constantly changing their sale prices. Check here for the latest pricing.

Sort out the components and label the piles of parts, then obtain the additional components needed. Locate the position of the base on the property. Situate the structure away from trees with branches above.

The base is laid out and pipes are being assembled for the top and sides. Do not fully assemble the pipes from top to bottom if the project is being put together by one person.

ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS TO PURCHASE
Additional components to purchase include earth anchors, anchor braided steel wire, wire clamps, rope, three pulleys, front door pipe, and tools. The base will require 2x6" treated perimeter lumber and its assembly hardware. (It takes two connected 12-foot sections for each side and a 14' section for the back) The front requires stubs to hold the front pipes. Purchase 4 pipe clamps to hold each of the two front pipes to the wood stubs. The structure as assembled is 10 feet high, 24 feet deep and 13 feet wide. The perimeter base size is 13'x24'. The hardware includes screws, angle iron, and straight connectors for 2" thick lumber. Although a 13' front base lumber is not needed, it's highly recommended as it will hold the front pipes at left and right, and provide a sturdier front door at the bottom where the wind can move the door in and out. As the back was reinforced, a chain link fence pipe was purchased with two connectors and threaded into the bottom pocket.

TOOLS
Tools and supplies needed for the project include 2 ladders, chainsaw, knife and blades, pole chain saw, oil, truck, tarp, ratchet (socket wrench with attachments), crescent wrench, pliers, scissors, duct tape, power drill, drill bits, level, rubber hammer, regular hammer, metal cut off power tool, sandpaper, wheel borrow, shovel, post hole digger, set of bungee cords, extension cords, lighting, ...

THE FLOOR
The floor is built up from the ground soil with a 4-inch deep layer of pea rock. Make sure the rock is dry when you purchase it, or you'll pay for a lot of extra water weight. The pea rock insulates the vehicles from ground moisture with a filtered granulated layer of air and rock. Rake and level the floor as needed.

Space1 - Model Space Program Part 1

SPACE1 
MODEL SPACE PROGRAM
PART 1
INTRODUCTION: Space1, the startup space tourism venture is introducing a MODEL SPACE PROGRAM for everyone with a passion for space and interested in modeling their own space program.

This is a real space program, with real flying model rockets at a small scale. The program uses modeling crafts and art to recreate functional models of rockets that can loft payloads and science equipment using small scale rocket engines.

The project is operated at the hobby level for fun, at the educational level for learning, and/or at the school level for science projects and credits. It can serve as an elective in scouting and 4H, and open up new doors of science and understanding.

We as a human civilization are just beginning to break the bonds of familiar gravity and move outward, upward into the vast realm of solar system space. As a species, to survive and continue the human race, it is inevitable that we begin to step up our move ever outward into the cosmos. As more people get on board with the program, the excitement of founding a new path to the stars and beyond will be inevitable.

The suggested kit of parts and materials includes a rocket, engine, finishing supplies, launcher system and tutorial manual of assembly and exciting projects. For more information, contact Space1.

DIY Alien in a Jar

The project is to put this alien into a jar

DIY ALIEN IMPRISONED IN A JAR PROJECT

As we moved our SETI equipment to a new laboratory location, for our own Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence in the Milky Way galaxy, we were appropriately gifted with the presence of a tiny alien!

This interior scape was color printed to serve as a method to modify the look of the jar

Completed alien imp in a jar seen in lid filtered room lighting

ALIENS
Predator, as seen in the two movies, came with it's own electronic whip from the future and multi-functional spear. The predator also has a mask, part of its protective warrior suit.

METHOD
To put a cap on its impish behavior, we decided to locate a home jar and encapsulate the little critter therein.

Impish little Predator is jar imprisoned for naughty behavior

JARS
Jars abound in the Humanoido Lab - for electronic projects housed in jars, electronic brains in jars, robots in jars, and now an alien in a jar. Plastic jars are free or low cost, easy to find, convenient to work, and can be recycled to help save the Earth's environment.

 SPOTLIGHTS

Attaching material

To showcase the imprisoned little beast, we obtained two micro-miniature LED flashlights, model number ZY-M020, one with white and one with red LEDs for NT$120.

These are tiny tri-multifunction lights with steady on, blinking, and strobing selections. The body is made from a type of neoprene flexible rubber with a looping flexible lanyard, a rigid plastic angle mount, and the embedded four function switch (including off). 

Each flashlight has two LEDs positioned 1/2-inch on center. A black battery compartment lid is the entry for 2xCR2032 battery cells.

See translation

THE HOME JAR
The plastic home jar came from the pet isle at the Welcome grocery store and contained pet food which was given away, and the label was removed.

Remove the label by applying heat to first soften the adhesive backing then slowly pullup a corner of the label and evenly pull it off. Do not pull too quickly or the label will tear and leave a sticky glue mess.

The reason for using a pet food jar is two fold, one, it has a carrying handle on the threaded lid top, and two, it has four nearly square sides for less image distortion when viewing the jar's interior.

This facilitates photography of the interior contents, in this case, a little alien beast, with almost no distortion.

Paste As You Wish Taiwan product

MOUNTING
The trick was mounting the Predator in the jar. Normally a putty type material adhesive is used, such as trade name Blu-Tack. However, in Taiwan, only a chinese product is available with a literally translated name of "Paste As You Wish."

TRANSLATION
The low cost "Paste As You Wish" attaching material is described as high tech, safe, nontoxic, pastes standing/flat surfaces, repeat use, environment friendly, and the method requires no glue, nails, or double sided stick tape.

(Information translated in Singapore) 

The printed star ship also did not fit the ambiance decor of the jar

It took a few moments of study to realize the material was not actually a goop of real tar, because some of the material was residual and stuck to hands and fingers.

Two 20g packages were obtained from the dollar store for NT$20 each. Five stores were visited to find the material. The product appears like a black sticky tar.

For use, stretch it and pull off a piece and then shape it like clay. Note: some black sticky tar-like pieces of the material may cling to hands or clothing, therefore be sure to knead the material for even consistency.


SCAPE RESULTS
The project included the color printing of various scapes such as the large star ship, the jungle, the future interior, and the collection of alien and human skulls and bones.

These collections of prints change the jar ambiance, style, location, and time era.

However, to avoid clutter, and for the best lighting and use of the strobing colored spotlights, the best impact is with the alien and it's three accessories only, showcased inside the jar.

CUTE COSBABY
The Predator figure is a cute CosBaby AVPR Wolf Predator action figure in baby form (Catalog Number 1686203) from Hot Toys, with articulated joints, highly detailed accessories and removable weapons. Made from vinyl, it stands 3-inchs tall.

HOT TOYS LTD is a Hong Kong based production house, established in 2000. They design, develop, and manufacture highly detailed with actual likeness toy merchandise to worldwide markets.

PREDATOR OR ALIEN
How confusing can it get? Is predator an alien? Yes. But is Predator "Alien?" No. To see the difference between Predator and Alien, watch the 2004 movie Alien vs Predator.

FM Radio Station Part 2 Assembly

Flipped reverse side photo to match component side

MINI FM RADIO STATION  Note top side component placement. Top two holes are for the 9-volt battery clip leads with ground on the left side. The left bottom hole and the bottom right hole are for the antenna connection.

Connections are easily seen when the printed circuit board is back lit, showing the circuit board traces on the reverse side. This makes it easier to match component locations to the schematic diagram.

Schematic diagram for a two stage transistor FM transmitter. Features microphone driven audio input, with tunable frequency range with L1. Operates on a 9-volt battery. Range tests are yet to be determined but the frequency appears to be around 100MHz on the FM band.

BUILD YOUR OWN FM RADIO STATION TRANSMITTER
IN-HOUSE DIY RADIO STATION PART 2

Rotated left to right view for component placement

Work is progressing on the electronic construction of the Lab's two stage exampling FM radio station. Stay tuned to this series of blogs as we supply the details of going on the air, as well as technical info so you can roll your own in-house radio station for fun.

The test transmitter printed circuit board has 17 components mounted and ready for soldering. This blog details the component placement and the circuit traces on the printed circuit board and includes transistor placement guides and a schematic for assembly. Note the two transistor identifications in the illustration showing keyed emitter, base and collector locations. 

The power board uses two transistors, a C1675 K6YC at the right side of the board (see photo above) and a C9013 H049 nearest the microphone. The circuit has one electret microphone input for voice operations and includes one coil, two transistors, two electrolytic capacitors, five ceramic disc capacitors, and five resistors. Not shown is a 9-volt battery clip and the antenna.

Verified leg identification ok

The antenna is only a few inches of wire which minimizes the range for initial testing, and limits use and range of reception to inside the lab room. The electronic project goal is an exampling in-house educational fully functional radio station. More tests will determine the range characteristics more precisely.
Note that some countries and municipalities allow short range transmitters of this type and some do not. Be sure to first check local laws and regulations before proceeding with the project.

The copper printed circuit side of the board with through hole leads ready for hot soldering

Ok to Use: MICRO Data/Japan data

The coil in combination with the parallel capacitor tunes the circuit to a frequency within the FM band.

Frequency trimming is accomplished by stretching or compressing the coil or modifying the value of the ceramic parallel 10 pF capacitor.

Initially the frequency should be in the range of 88 to 108 mHz on the FM band.

Warning - do NOT use USHA India/LGE leg positions

The radio station will have an identical twin backup system for service or parts to remain up and running as necessary.

The cost of the first set of parts is NT$132 (US$4.42) and the backup duplicate parts are NT$120 (US$4.00). Thus far, combined cost is US$8.42 for the hardware.

The transistor leg identification does not agree from one data sheet to the next. See diagrams.

Careful with data sheets for the 2sc1675 transistor as there are discrepancies between the TO92 and TO92b case versions. For example, the equivalent Panasonic 2sc 829 equal to 2sc 1675 as a substitute is in agreement with the transistor placement of emitter, collector, base, therefore this is the arrangement to use.

Brain Cortex Machine Era

BRAIN CORTEX MACHINE ERA
The long term project objective is to develop a cortex machine brain, demonstrating human-to-machine brain transfer, in particular to take some relatively simple characteristics of a human brain and transfer portions to the machine brain, whereby human traits could be given greater life longevity, leading towards immortality.

The project has spun a number of fascinating projects in neural science and what seems like science fiction even though it's science fact.

This is possibly one of few times where two eras exist simultaneously running at the same time.

ERA
http://humanoidolabs.blogspot.tw/2012/01/big-brain-era.html

Brain Cortex Desiccator Part 24

The jar floor design is curved to strengthen the jar. This forms an ideal shape for creating a jar desiccator. The top plate is bolted to the apex and the plentiful underlying perimeter space stores numerous bags of free desiccant. The jar bottom indentation prevents the bolt from touching or scratching the surface of a table where the jar is setting.

BRAIN CORTEX DESICCATOR PART 24
Nearly every large brain cortex in a jar needs a desiccator to prevent or remove moisture from internally forming on the walls when hermetically sealed.

DESIGN
The Desiccator design is completed and makes good use of the existing 3-liter jar floor design. As seen in the photo, the floor is curved in the upward direction with a sagitta of about .75-inch. (In geometry, the sagitta of a circular arc is the distance from the center of the arc to the center of its base.)

DISICCATION PLATE
A desiccator plate is fabricated from transparent cut into a disk of maximum diameter that will fit through the jar opening. A hole at the center accepts a mounting bolt. Under the plate, bags of free desiccant are distributed.

FREE DESICCANT
Free desiccant is obtained in large bags found in large bottles of Centrum (310 count) and other vitamins. Numerous other products include desiccant bags and these work too.

BATTERY ARRAY
At the plate perimeter is the array of battery holders, mounted flush with the plate. The combination of the battery holders and the plate holds the desiccant in place.

PLATE REMOVAL
In the updated desiccator plate design, the diameter determines a perimeter that meets the battery holders but does not extend under. The facilitates easy plate removal for changing desiccant without the need to remove the battery holders.

Engineering with Transplastic

Showing the author's 16 pcs stockpile of Transparent Plastic in clipboard form. TP is perfect for hobbyists needing a low cost construction material to build robots, platforms, structures and supports for assorted brains. The remarkable thing about engineering transplastic is that shaping it and cutting it only requires a standard soldering iron. The shape is scribed into the board with the soldering iron and allowed to cool, then snapped to reveal the final result.

TRANSPLASTIC - TRANSPARENT PLASTIC
No drilling, no cutting - common resource material for easy construction... The best part about finding Transplastic is it's commonly available across the world.

Engineer your own Transplastic. Clipboards are everywhere! The green transparent clipboard is an easy design material for the person who travels light with a soldering iron. It can be worked with a metal ruler straight edge - just scribe a hot line with the soldering iron into the plastic and break off at the scribed line when cooled. This is an easy way to readily construct robotic parts and platforms etc. by using commonly available resources, especially since clipboards are very low cost and found in varying sizes. For example, the BSS Basic Stamp Supercomputer used clipboard construction. For hobbyists on a shoestring budget, it's an ideal low cost material.

Here's some advantages of working with TransPlastic

• low cost
• commonly available
• cuts and drills with a common soldering iron
• form bends with heat
• easy reinforced with layering and air-crafting
• light weight
• structurally strong enough to support most peripherals
• ideal for mounting tabs, platforms, extensions, housings
• has insulation abilities
• can act as partitions, shields and full enclosures
• see-though enables viewing LEDs, power & data monitoring
• works with CaS cells

For a reference of working with clipboards in a hobby application, refer to the BSS BASIC Stamp Supercomputer construction. This project uses clip boards as construction platforms for the tower, crown, and platform base.

Build Tiny Stamp BOE

BUILD A TINY STAMP BS2 BOE
How to Build a Tiny BOE Board of Education

Article adapted from Penguin Tech Magazine PT1

Maybe smaller is better when it comes to tiny robots, little machines, and experimenting with projects on a budget. How about making a tiny BOE at a fraction of the cost of a full blown version? This project is ideal for hobbyists, students, schools and anyone on a budget, or project in the small space league.

BOE is the Board of Education, from Parallax Inc. It’s a development board on which to build many interesting basic stamp projects and it can be used over and over again, due to its convenient solderless breadboard and pin-out connectors. BOE is also the board driving the popular BOEBOT robot.

BOE’s uses are many, from controlling servos to offering convenient power regulation, a reset switch, and various well labeled connectors. BOE is the instrument by which you can get your projects running quickly and effectively. However, BOE is small but not tiny. It would be nice to have a tiny boe for robots smaller than BoeBot, such as Penguin Robot, and other projects with limited space requirements. This article examines a way to create a tiny BOE. This tiny BOE is portable and convenient, operating off the well known OEM Basic Stamp 2. Buy the kit (see links), collect the parts, and assemble the BOE. It's loads of fun!

Mainly, we connected an edge board connector and added a tiny solderless breadboard using double stick tape (the 3M kind to connect picture frames to the wall). Wiring is accomplished by leading wires from the edge connector to the breadboard. There are many applications for Tiny Boe. You can even make a Tiny BoeBot. It’s recommended to first make some standard connections for reset, and power.
