A glove-like robotic exoskeleton hand may help pianists improve their skills without risking injury from overpractice.

Japanese researchers have used a nimble robotic hand exoskeleton to train expert pianists to improve their performance, using a technique they believe could be applied to e-sports, surgery or even ...
