HaptX Gloves G1
The HaptX Gloves G1 are haptic gloves with 135 microfluidic tactile actuators per hand, force feedback of up to 8 lbf per finger and 36 tracked degrees of freedom per glove.
The G1 is the first HaptX glove built for volume production. Each hand has 135 small air-driven actuators that press on the skin, brakes that resist the fingers with up to 8 lbf each, and magnetic tracking of 36 degrees of freedom at 0.3 mm resolution. The gloves need an Airpack, a compressed-air unit of 8.8 kg worn as a backpack or placed on a desk, which is the main practical limit. For robotics the important point is the ROS node: an operator can drive a robot hand and feel what it touches. Price is available only on request.
