Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have unveiled a groundbreaking development in wearable technology: a smart glove capable of providing tactile feedback to guide users through learning new skills, enhance robot manipulation precision, and aid in professional training.
Unlike conventional visual or auditory learning methods, the smart glove targets individuals who learn best through touch, a modality often overlooked in educational and training settings. The glove captures and reproduces touch-based instructions by seamlessly embedding tactile sensors and haptic actuators into textiles, enabling users to absorb knowledge in fields such as surgery, music, and beyond.
