Dean Kamen’s Amazing Artificial Arm

He is the Segway guy, but there’s a lot more to him and his ability to solve problems through engineering.

I wasn’t around for DaVinci or Edison or Ben Franklin. I suspect they had a lot in common with Dean Kamen. He is the Segway guy, but there’s a lot more to him and his ability to solve problems through engineering.

I’m attaching a clip from the Colbert Report where he demonstrates a fully functional Deka prosthetic arm known as “Luke.” It is designed to be used by veterans who’ve lost limbs in combat. It is nothing short of amazing.

Even Steven Colbert stopped joking. It’s that important and that good.
