Researchers at MIT and the University of Southern California have developed a novel wristband that uses ultrasound imaging to track hand and finger movements. This device adheres to the skin and captures images of muscles and tendons, which an AI algorithm then translates into precise finger and palm positions. The technology has been demonstrated to control robotic hands for tasks like playing the piano and manipulating virtual objects, with potential applications in training humanoid robots for delicate procedures and enhancing virtual reality interactions.
