MIT researchers made a wristband to teach robots how to do housework and surgery
MIT researchers have developed an ultrasound wristband that captures human hand and muscle movements. This data is then used to train robots, enabling them to perform complex tasks like housework and surgery with greater dexterity. The system uses AI to decode the captured movements, allowing a robotic hand to mimic gestures in near real-time. Future applications could involve creating large datasets to train robots for autonomous learning of fine motor skills. AI
