A researcher in Keio University has developed a device that will instantly and wirelessly transmit the force between two devices.
Kouhei Ohnishi has said that this invention would allow physical therapists to treat patients remotely, the Japan Times reported.

The technology, which could also be adapted to increase or diminish the force being applied, requires high-speed wireless communications many times faster than today's Wi-Fi setups, as well as high-speed computing capacity.
