A friend sent me a link to a recent video of Dean Kamen’s work on developing an artificial arm. Dean is the inventor of the Segway, and now seems to be applying his expertise to helping those of us missing upper limbs!
I saw an earlier video of his work but this one shows the progress he has been making, quite incredible. In particular I like his lateral thinking on the different control mechanisms used to give the arm a large number of degrees of motion…sure beats the current open/close/rotate control I have with my myo hand.
