hero‚ is a new and improved prosthetic limb. Created by famous inventor Dean Kamen and his team‚ the “Luke Arm” is one of the most advanced prosthetic ever built‚ with the ability to pick up both delicate and rugged substances. This is very important for amputees‚ especially those who live alone‚ and should hopefully improve their lives. Prosthetic limbs interested me specifically because they are one of the many brain children of engineering and biology. Prosthetics have to factor in delicate technology

Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Bionics (also known as biomimetics‚ biognosis‚ biomimicry‚ or bionical creativity engineering) is the application of biological methods and systems found in nature to the study and design of engineering systems and modern technology. The word "bionic" was coined by Jack E. Steele in 1958‚ possibly originating from the Greek word "βίον"‚ pronounced "bion"‚ meaning "unit of life" and the suffix -ic‚ meaning "like" or "in the manner of"‚ hence "like life". Some explain
