Segway inventor Dean Kamen is looking to re-invent the prosthetic arm. IEEE Spectrum caught up with Kamen and one of his "test pilots," to see the robotic arm (named after Luke Skywalker's articficial limb) in action.

That has gotta be one of the coolest things I have ever seen!

This is so inspiring!I want to be an engineer!

That's so cool! I remember watching Star Wars V when I was like 4 years old and thinking "Man, what if Luke's robo-arm was real?" They're getting pretty close, in my opinion. That's awesome

These engineers are SO STUPID!!! Just call McGyver...he'll do the job!...damn!

you know the actual "luke" arm, as in the forearm, would be fairly easy to engineer. if you could save the muscles in the forearm you could spline cables into the muscles to use the hand and fingers properly, and of course fabricate a hand and bone. the thumb would be a little tricky, but possible. i may actually work on this idea

I agree and we will get to see it

JUST IMAGINE in the next 15 to 20 years from now, just imagine @rookBartly I agree and we will

lol

I wouldn't say 100 years. in the last decade we have made increadable leaps in this and similar fields. i think we can see more pratical applations in maybe 20. The bigest hold back is going to be cost. Scienctits such has Dr. Warwick have already done pratical research into the linking artifal elements into the brain that sends and receives motor-control signals for the body. I look forward to seeing the partical applations of this tech before I die.

Luke arm owns proto 2 from JHAPL
