    Custom prosthetic arm turns student into a bionic drummer
    Professor Gil Weinberg of Georgia Tech's Center for Music Technology has developed a twin-sticked robotic prosthesis for music student Jason Barnes, who lost his right forearm in an accident 2 years ago. One stick can be completely controlled by the player, but the other "has a mind of its own."
