Luke I am you're robotic arm.....

Dean Kamen got a lot of crap for the Segway not being the "revolutionary" product that he had promised. But you can't deny that the technology that went into the Segway is pretty amazing stuff.

Kamen's company Deka is now taking on the world of prosthetic limbs. Their new "Luke" arm is nothing less than amazing, watch this video to see the arm in action. Talk about a bright new future.

That reminded me of a fantastic show that I saw about Dean Kamen about a year ago. He was on Iconoclasts on the Sundance channel. Its a great idea for a show and no matter who the guests are it's fantastic. Keep an eye out for the episode with Dave Chappelle and Maya Angelou....that was amazing.
