Kingston writes "A bionic prosthetic hand called the i-LIMB has clinched the MacRobert engineering award in the UK according to this BBC article which features an interview with an i-LIMB user.

The i-LIMB, a prosthetic device with five individually powered digits, beat three other finalists to win this year's MacRobert award.
The technology has been fitted to more than 200 people, including US soldiers who lost limbs during the war in Iraq.
The device started life in Scotland in 1963 as part of a project to help children affected by Thalidomide.

This device has featured before on Slashdot."
