The researchers must still perfect the technology to automatically control these sensors but when they do, a robot wearing the glove could have the dexterity to hold an egg between thumb and forefinger without smashing it or letting it slip.
The way it works is that you have to sit in front of a PC that's connected to the robot, wearing special gloves fitted with markers (see the picture above).
In the virtual environment, the human operator can drive the virtual robot hand with the data glove and perform dynamic manipulation of objects.

The group is known for emphasising using visual and story components associated with their musical productions, and for using disguises while in public and/or performing; specifically ornate helmets and gloves to assume robot personas in most of their public appearances since 2001.
