Robots often find it hard to pick up things like cups. MIT made a new wristband to teach robots hand movements.

The wristband helps robots learn how people move their hands. This can help robots do tasks like cleaning or even surgery.

The wristband uses sound waves to look inside a person's skin. It sends muscle movements to a computer with special AI.

The AI learns to understand these images of hand movements. It decodes how a human hand can bend and turn.

The wristband showed it could copy hand signs very fast. Robots might learn without people helping them in the future.
