Apparently somewhere along the way Dean Kamen’s robo-prosthestesis came to be called the Luke arm (care to guess why?), and according to the IEEE Spectrum blog, it’s gearing up to undergo Food and Drug Administration trials pending DARPA’s final thumbs-up, which would put the project in motion. Be sure to check out the rest of the profile of the arm’s development, which is well worth the read.
