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.

## Core Technologies & Specifications

Tuned for wearability, durability, and data quality.

01

### Tactile Sensing

Dense taxels across the fingertips and palm, tuned for the light-touch regime.

- 0196 taxels — 0.717 taxels/cm² across the sensing region
