 How do bionics limbs work?  Biosensors communicate with the nervous system. The biosensors relay this information to a controller in the device which processes feedback from the limb, such as position and force, and sends it back to the controller. Mechanical sensors process what’s affecting the device (limb position, applied force, load) and sends this information to the biosensors. The controller is connected to the person’s nerve and muscular systems and the device. It picks up the signals from the brain and tells the robotic limb to do that action just like a regular body part would.

Scientists have used bionic technology to help blind people see by using sensors implanted into your optic nerves that receive a camera image sent by a little camera on a pair of glasses.
