Since 1993, Scottish hotel owner Campbell Aird, who had his right arm amputated in 1982 after doctors diagnosed muscular cancer, has been trying out a new bionic arm created by a team of five bio-engineers at the Margaret Rose Hospital, Edinburgh, UK.
Two other motorised artificial arms have been developed in America, but these were essentially only powered elbows.
