The bionic prostheses require the ability to code and decode the neural signals.
Bionic athletes help develop bionic systems, which can help handicapped people. The new bionic prosthesis can have a sense of touch. They can act and look like natural limbs.
The system requires electricity, and the user must load the batteries. A system called an isotopic battery or radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) could solve the energy problem.
Developers can use bionic prostheses to create systems that can revolutionize science, entertainment, and the military. The bionic space suits allow the astronauts to feel things that they touch. The virtual reality helps to see what they should do. If there are cameras in the space suit gloves.
Those bionic prostheses can also send visual images to the brains. The system can use neuroimplants to create a neurological connection between the prosthesis and the brain's visual center.
The system can communicate with the neural system. And take movement commands from natural neuro tracks. That normally transfers information between the brain and hand.
The problem is that the hand's neural tracks are not connected with the visual center. The solution can be the neuro-implanted microchip that sends electric impulses to the visual center. That tool can use a nano-size optical cable to communicate with the prosthesis.
Those bionic systems can also make it possible to create remotely controlled robots. That can send their sensory data to the remote controller operators. Those operators see, hear, and feel everything that the robot feels and hears and sees if they use brain-computer interface, BCI,
The BCI makes it possible to use robots as external bodies. This technology brings next-generation tools to people that they can use in everyday work. Or in special situations.
And that is a big advance that can also have some negative uses. But those robots can save lives and minimize risks when people sometimes land on the red planet or at a longer distance from the solar system.
The problem with possible harbors of life is this: if an astronaut breaks the suit, the surface of the planet or the moon is polluted. And if the ice cab of the icy moon or carbon dioxide ice vaporizes under the astronaut's feet, that causes a horrible situation.
