Imagine a future where robots have biological or part-biological, brains and in which neural implants link the human nervous system bi-directionally with technology and the internet.

Kevin Warwick, professor of Cybernetics at Coventry University, thinks this is possible and what’s more he’s already experimenting with it. And the possibilities are endless.
