Cyborg concept was proposed by Manfred E. clynes and Nathan S. klin in 1960. The original intention is to solve the problem that human fragile body can not withstand hundreds of light-years of high-speed travel in future star trek by transplanting auxiliary nerve control devices to human body and enhancing human survival ability to adapt to external space. Cyborg is a mixture of Cybernetic device and organism.

The research on cyborg can be roughly divided into two categories. One is related to science and technology, which is mainly to explore the future realizability of cyborg, that is, through transplantation, repair and other technologies, combine organisms with non organisms to enhance the ability of organisms to adapt to the environment; The other can be attributed to the philosophical thinking of cyborg, which mainly reflects on the far-reaching impact cyborg has brought to human individuals and society. Nowadays, cyborg is not only an academic topic, but also many artists continue to show their charm in the form of film and art.
