I’m on board with this Joe,  while I have not participated much in MSF,
there a a couple of key technologies:

The Tatum Robotics artificial signing arm:

CMU’s robot sweaters:

My apologies for not sharing sooner.  I recently restarted research in the

Recently, I discovered SignLLM:

They are collecting sign language data for incorporation into an LLM.
