ProGlove 1.0 - tactile data collection in wild
ProGlove 1.0
A 1.3 mm textile glove that disappears on the hand yet feels a tenth of a newton — for human wearers first, humanoid hands next.
- ✓96 taxels across the fingertips and palm
- ✓Just 1.3 mm thick across most of the glove
- ✓Silicone friction pads for confident grip
- ✓6-axis IMU for hand pose estimation
- ✓500 Hz sensing for low-latency capture
- ✓Detects 0.1 N, tolerates loads up to 125 N
One glove, every hand
Worn by a person or by the robot — the same tactile sensing, from a peace sign to a power tool.
