  • The glove uses electroosmotic pumps to actuate 32 pressure pixels on each finger pad.
  • The system fits battery and Wi-Fi equipment on the hand and wrist.
  • CMU said Fluid Reality had spun out into a startup focused on fingertip actuators.

Fluid Reality develops compact high-resolution haptic hardware for VR and humanoid robot teleoperation. Its fingerpad technology is aimed at restoring touch feedback in remote manipulation, making it relevant to robot-control loops and dexterous data collection.
