OP Researchers at Michigan State University have announced the development of a robot arm (and hand) with which to perform breast examinations at a distance. The "hand" combines ultrasound with an artificial sense of touch. The hand moves, at the site of the remote examination, in response to the operators hand movements, at the medical facility, sensed by what they call "a haptic glove". Only Doctor Bill would know what a "haptic" glove might be.
