Ultrasound imaging turns a robot hand into a skillful mimic
Researchers have developed a method using ultrasound imaging to help robotic hands achieve human-like dexterity by capturing detailed information about muscle and tendon movements beneath the skin. This breakthrough addresses a major limitation in robotics—the inability to replicate the complex coordination of 34 muscles, 27 joints, and over 100 tendons and ligaments that enable precise human hand movements.
