MIT researchers have created a hand-augmenting robotic glove

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have devised a way to augment the puny flesh and bone accouterments on human hands. The researchers have actually developed a powered glove outfitted with two robotic fingers to prove a better grip to human hands. They have used sensors on the glove so as to enable it register the wearer’s finger movements. Once this is done, the data is fed into a computer algorithm and the robotic attachments are easily controlled. The wearer gains extra grip because of the mechanical fingers positioned on either side of the hand. “This is a completely intuitive and natural way to move your robotic fingers.
