This has made me extremely happy, and has once again spurred me into wanting to go into cybernetics. I guess I'll have to start looking into if there's anything more local than Chicago!

Thanks!

hopbot article was 'not found' - is this the one you were linking to, or another: http://www.mumbaimirror.com/nmirror/mmpaper.asp?sectid=16&articleid=9142006224512562914200622454140

CNN has a video of the bionic arm, but unfortunately it is pop-up only and has no permanent link. I can't get the video to work, so I can't even give a summary :(
