Dean Kamen ain't a-scared of the cyber-ape apocalypse. In fact, he's going to fight fire with fire.
Kamen has developed an impressive, mind-controlled prosthetic robot arm. Dubbed "Luke" (after Skywalker, most likely), is an incredibly sophisticated bit of engineering that's light years ahead of the clamping "claws" that many amputees are forced to use today. The arm is fully articulated, giving the user the same degrees of movement as a natural arm, and is sensitive enough to pick up a piece of paper, a wineglass or even a grape without mishap.
