Researchers at MIT have created an ultrasound wristband capable of capturing muscle and tendon movements beneath the skin. This data is then relayed to robotic hands, enabling them to mimic human gestures in real-time. The technology aims to help humanoid robots overcome challenges in complex grasping tasks by providing precise human hand movement data, with tests showing rapid gesture mirroring.
