A we continue our slow march toward cybnertic subjugation of the species, one might've guessed that Segway inventor Dean Kamen would have a hand in it.  Or, as it turns out, a whole arm.

There's not a ton of specific info about what Kamen's actually put together here (which is not entirely dissimilar to the lengthy and secretive roll-out of the Segway).  But whether or not he's managed to rig up a practical neural interface for artificial limbs (which seems to be the $6 million question), as a next generation prosthesis for amputees, the Kamen arm does look promising and its inventor does have a good track record of cooking up crafty gizmos that have escaped developers in established industry.
