Humanoid broadcast a conference on cybernetics today for the Institution of Engineering and Technology. Speaker Professor Kevin Warwick is world famous for his research into directly interfacing computer systems with the human nervous system.

Project Cyborg created a media storm when Professor Warwick embedded an RFID transmitter into his own nervous system, becoming the world's first human cyborg. The implant gave him the power to control lights, doors, heaters and other computer-actuated devices, including a robotic hand thousands of miles away.

Live from Stafford Television Studio, Professor Warwick expounded his research and took questions from studio and online audience members about the future potential of cybernetic implants for medical and consumer technology.

Humanoid has just completed a short promotional film for the Breathe Easy Award, an anti-smoking scheme by Staffordshire County Council & Stoke City Council, in partnership with the NHS. The scheme aims to help local business become healthy and smoke-free.

The Breathe Easy scheme is complimented by the “Smoke-Free Promotional Van”, which travels to offer businesses advice, services and encouragement to create a smoke-free environment.

The van is equipped with lung capacity testers and age progression software, giving individuals first-hand experience of the current and future side effects of smoking on their bodies.
