Humanoid robots may soon gain more human-like dexterity thanks to a new wearable device developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The ultrasound wristband uses high-frequency sound waves to capture the movement of muscles, tendons, and ligaments beneath the skin, creating detailed data on human hand motions.
According to the team, the data collected by the system could be used to train robots to perform household tasks by replicating the dexterous hand movements used by humans.
