Mind-Controlled Prosthetic Robot Arm
Tagged with: technology
Dean Kamen, , has invented a wicked cool robot arm (video below). From a Wired Blog post.
Kamen’s arm, dubbed “Luke” (after Skywalker, I assume), is an incredibly sophisticated bit of engineering that’s lightyears ahead of the clamping “claws” that many amputees are forced to use today. The arm is fully articulated, giving the user the same degrees of movement as a natural arm, and is sensitive enough to pick up a piece of paper, a wineglass or even a grape without mishap.
Maybe Stephen Hawking could make use of this technology.

Welcome to my blog! Topics tend to focus on Science and Technology, but I throw in personal stuff too. I hope you enjoy!
