Amputee Makes History Controlling Two Modular Prosthetic Limbs
From: Products Design & Development - 12/19/2014

A Colorado man made history at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics
Laboratory (APL) this summer when he became the first bilateral
shoulder-level amputee to wear and simultaneously control two of the
Laboratory's Modular Prosthetic Limbs.

Most importantly, Les Baugh, who lost both arms in an electrical accident 40
years ago, was able to operate the system by simply thinking about moving his
limbs, performing a variety of tasks during a short training period.
