Bionic James.......maybe one day

Dean Kamen I think must be some soft of super genius alien or something. The stuff that he comes up with just can't be from us mere mortals. For those of you that don't know.... probably all of you...Dean Kamen is the inventor of the Segway. While the Segway is not exactly changing the way people get around, they way he thought it would, it is still pretty revolutionary is its technology. He has also help work on a wheelchair system called the iBot which can, among other things, "walk" up stairs.

The other day I was searching around on the internets and found this. Kamen refers to it as the Luke arm in reference to star wars........awesome.
I was just blown away with what these robotic arms can do. Now with the advancement of a technology that allows brain implants to control robotic equipment it is only a matter of time till I lop of my own arms just so I can be Bionic James! No but really this is such incredible technology. The guy in the video they showed is able to feed himself for the first time in 26 years with this arm.
