Story summary

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) developed a wearable system that interprets gestures in high-motion environments.
The device is a soft armband patch with stretchable sensors and a deep-learning engine that filters motion noise.
It lets users control machines, such as robotic arms, while running or in turbulent conditions.
The study, published in Nature Sensors, highlights a major advance in human-machine interaction and supports mobility and safety.
