For all that I've definitely been a skeptic of some of his other projects, particularly the hype-ridden (but nonetheless fun-to-ride) Segway, Dean Kamen's latest project is nothing short of inspirational:

If Kamen and his team can pull this off, and bring it into production at anything like a reasonable price, he will have changed the lives of many of the brave men and women who've been injured in the defense of their country. This is truly an exceptional example of technology being turned towards the good.
