A Prosthetic Arm That Can Feel

The LUKE arm, named after Skywalker's hand in the movie series, is a robotic arm that is controlled by the user's thoughts. Being developed at the University of Utah's College of Engineering, the hand sends electrical signals to the arm and brain that give the sensation of touching an object to help the wearer pick up delicate objects without crushing them.
