The guy behind the arm is Dean Kamen, and this guy is on a roll. He invented the Segway (...it's a piece of a crap but it's still something) and was recently on the Colbert Report to show off his water purifier (I forgot who made the thread, but it's somewhere in the forum), among other things:

I gotta say, this kind of technology excites me tremendously. If they can get the dexterity down pat and maybe, at some point, make it strong enough to crush a child's skull, I might not be so uh...hesitant...about losing a limb or limbs in one of the various wars we've got going.
Side note: Embedded videos? ****ing awesome, guys. Thanks Skyrider.
