5 Vision and Proposed actions

The Vision

We envision within a decade, in a continuously developing fashionthat a new industry will emerge serving unprecedented human needs, resulting in

• 
  Sensory and other prostheses (visual, auditory, tactile, smell, taste, motion, etc.), as well as self-contained medication, forecasting and therapeutic devices built into the human body
  
• 
  Brain controlled robots and motor prostheses (human and industrial use)
  
• 
  Life-like Perception/action devices for household, industrial, and medical use (home and community security, telemedicine, home-care, life-like robots/valets, etc.)
  
• 
  OEM bionic parts to be embedded in many other goods and services
