Earlier this month the US Food and Drug Administration (
FDA) approved a mind controlled
prosthetic arm that has been developed by DEKA Integrated Solutions for DARPA’s Revolutionising Prosthetics program.
The DEKA mind controlled prosthetic arm also referred to as the “Luke” arm, referencing the prosthetic arm that was worn by Luke Skywalker in Star Wars. Is controlled by electrical signals from electromyogram (EMG) electrodes connected to the wearer’s muscles. Watch the video after the jump to see it in action.
