Double Amputee Makes History By Controlling Two Robotic Arms With His Mind
Colorado man Les Baugh has made history with two bionic arms attached at shoulder level, controlled by his thoughts alone. This makes him the first bilateral amputee in the world to do this.
Artificial skin can give artificial limbs the sense of touch

“I feel like the Terminator” is the statement coming from the once-limbless Nigel Ackland, 53, who lost his arm in an industrial accident some six years ago.
