About SenseGlove
SenseGlove builds wearable hand interfaces that combine finger tracking with vibrotactile or force feedback. Nova 2 is a wireless haptic glove for virtual-reality training and research, while the R1 is an exoskeleton glove designed around four degrees of active force feedback, five-finger tracking and a one-kilohertz control loop.
For robotics, the gloves provide a human input layer for teleoperation, imitation learning and manipulation-data collection. The R1 can operate as a standalone glove or with a haptic arm, exposes ROS and Python interfaces, and is positioned for controlling humanoid and dexterous robot hands in precise assembly and maintenance workflows.
