Lying in bed and there is a remotely operated robotic hand in the kitchen preparing breakfast for you. While you’re in the bed, just move your own hand for those actions needed for preparing breakfast and the remote robotic hand in the kitchen will copy all your actions to get your breakfast ready and then serve you! Sounds cool! Right?
I hope it all works that way. It’s the magnetic hand glove that has been developed by Akita University of Japan. The glove is to be worn on your hand, which detects movement and converts the exact same actions to a remote robotic hand – lets say to prepare the breakfast for you! The glove is equiped with three onboard axial magnetic sensors that make it remarkably precise in copying movements. The glove even can be used by surgeons to perform robotic surgery over the Internet. Can you imagine that it allows a surgeon to perform open heart surgery while he’s sipping on an umbrella drink in Tahiti?
