Hand-worn Robot to Help Blind People Navigate and Intelligently Grasp Objects.

"A team of collaborators from the University of Nevada, Reno and the University of Arkansas, Little Rock are starting work on a robotic device worn on the hand that will work to extend the abilities of blind people to move around and to find and grasp nearby things. It will work using cameras and other kinds of sensors to identify objects, while some sort of force feedback will be used to help the wearer know when the hand is getting close to the object of interest."
