Researchers at MIT created a new tool for robots. This tool helps robots learn how to move their hands.

The special wristband uses sound waves to see inside the arm. It captures images of muscles and tendons moving under skin.

This data can teach robots to do daily home tasks. Robots can learn very clever hand movements this way.

The technology can help with many difficult hand movements. For example, it could assist robots in performing surgery.

The wristband quickly copies hand gestures with great accuracy. Robots may learn complex tasks without human help someday.
