Part 1 Humans & Machines - BBC Explorations

Explorations this time examines the marvels and mysteries of the human mind and body. From brain implants to artificial intelligence, we explore the complexity and achievements of the human mind.

Making intelligent computers appears to be within our grasp. But if they are to realise their full potential, then they will have to become more than inanimate boxes.

Computers that can control their movements and actions, and interact fully with their surroundings and with others - this is the true aspiration of those exploring artificial life.

As we learn to build more intelligent and agile computers and robots, we become increasingly aware of the limitations of our own bodies. We've also realised that we can combine organic with artificial body parts. Failing hearts supported by pacemakers and artificial pumps have become commonplace.
