Scientists want to make artificial limbs feel real. Scientists are
developing bionic arms and legs that provide a sense of touch. NPR's Jon
Hamilton reports on work by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh.

JON HAMILTON, BYLINE: The group includes more than 80 people from 10
different labs. Lee Fisher is a bioengineer who runs one of those labs. He
says their inspiration comes from Star Wars.

LEE FISHER: When Luke Skywalker has that amputation, they give him this new
hand, and it - you can't tell that it's not his own hand.
