View Poll Archives Scientists Create Luke's Prosthetic Hand Posted By Mike on September 7, 2008 This could someday be a wonderful thing for injured soldiers. From a story on MSN.com By Candace Lombardi, Staff Writer, CNET News.com: "Remember Luke Skywalker's amazingly lifelike arm replacement in The Empire Strikes Back? A similar type of realistic arm may be in store for injured soldiers. The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Md., announced Thursday that its team has developed a breakthrough prosthetic arm for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Revolutionizing Prosthetics 2009 program. The DARPA program is an initiative to produce by 2009 a mechanical arm that closely mimics the movement and sensory perception of a biological arm. It would then be provided for military personal hurt in the line of duty." Click here for the full story. Thanks to Jeremy M. for the link. UPDATE: You might remember the above article from way back in May. Well now you can click here to check out a video of the "Luke" articifial arm." Thanks to our friend "mad droid" for the link.
