The post quotes an insight regarding UMI devices: the human hand is likely the ultimate form factor for teleoperation end-effectors. Once the actuator is designed directly as a "glove," traditional remote manipulation becomes unnecessary in many scenarios.
The poster adds that the work is impressive in its fabric materials and sensor design, making the overall concept highly compelling.
