Bionics research
Bionics research is the R&D that went into creating the Compact Bionics Module technology. It could also be applied to the work that went into inventing an individual CBM, though that is less likely.

EDITORIAL: BIONICS REDUCE YOUR HUMANITY. As these so-called 'bionics' spread in popularity, I can only wonder what it means to have part of your body voluntarily removed and replaced with bioplastic. It's one thing to have an amputation for medical reasons; it's quite another to voluntarily remove healthy tissue so that you can carry your cigarette lighter in the tip of your finger. I worry that the youth of today won't understand anymore what it means to feel the touch of a loved one with your own skin, instead of artificial sensory input from a lab-made plastic device.
