Kevin Warwick
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Kevin Warwick was a cybernetics professor working at Reading University. He inserted an RFID transmitter into his arm, allowing him to control his lights and doors. He once used an interface which allowed him to move a robotic arm thousands of miles away, in New York. His work inspired the subculture of Grinders. (AUDIO: Believe)
