Dean Kamen Previews a New Prosthetic Arm

Dean_Kamen_Previews_a_New_Prosthetic_Arm

In this talk, Mr. Kamen talks about a new prosthetic arm for America's soldiers after 1,600 of the returning troops had returned missing limbs. The task is to create a prosthetic limb that is capable of picking up on nerve impulses and moving accordingly.

After watching the Amber Case Cyborg Anthropology video here, I was searching for more talks that are somewhat related. I felt that prosthetic arms fit quite well in this topic. I feel that the use of these arms will be quite significant in the future. The video of the limb was extremely impressive.
