Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
FDA approves 'Star
Wars' bionic arm.
Some of you might
remember the prosthetic that was attached to the Star Wars hero Luke Skywalker
after he had lost his right arm during a light-saber duel with Darth Vader, his
wicked father. That scientific movie inspired the inventor or Segway, a two-wheeled
self-balancing personal transport, to develop more-functional-than-ever
prosthetic that has recently been approved by the Food and Drug Administration,
FDA, for sale in the US.
This practical and
functional prosthetic is controlled by signals from the brain. It can perform
delicate and sensitive tasks like zipping up a fastener, locking or unlocking a
door with a key or handling an egg without breaking it.
Enjoy reading and
seeing the video that shows you today’s science and innovations are stepping closer
towards scientific imaginations dreamed of a few decades ago.
