Wuji Glove pair

Wuji Glove

  • Data transmission via Ethernet
  • IMU-based finger sensor technology
  • Broad software compatibility

Description

The Wuji Glove is a data glove by Shenzhen Wuji Technology Co., Ltd. for precise hand motion capture. It was developed specifically for teleoperation of the Wuji Hand as well as general motion capture applications in robotics. Motion capture modules on each finger record joint angles in real time and transmit the data via Ethernet to the host computer.

The glove is available for both left- and right-handed users and integrates seamlessly into the Wuji software environment (Wuji Studio, Wuji SDK). It supports a pose retargeting system based on the DexRetargeting algorithm and is compatible with Apple Vision Pro for live teleoperation.

 

Versions

 

Wuji Glove – Tactile Sensing Version

This version features tactile sensing only and is designed to be worn by the Wuji Hand in order to capture tactile data.

 

Wuji Glove – Motion Capture Version

This version offers the same tactile sensing capabilities, supplemented by EMF- and IMU-based motion capture functions. It is designed to be worn by the human hand and enables both hand pose and tactile data collection as well as teleoperation of dexterous robotic hands.

Specifications

 

Repeatability Test Conditions: Glove samples are mounted on a hand mold fixture. Seven distinct areas of the tactile palm surface are selected. A pressure applicator with a flat disc probe (20 mm diameter) repeatedly applies the same force to each area. The maximum percentage deviation is then calculated.

Press Life / Flex Life Test Conditions: Glove samples are worn by a test operator who repeatedly performs open and gripping motions (up to full scale) on a cylindrical force measurement device.

Components

Palm

  • More than 500 pressure sensors are distributed across the palm, forming a high-resolution tactile sensing system.
  • Captures pressure changes in real time when interacting with objects and generates high-resolution pressure distribution maps of the hand.
  • During grasping, the system provides feedback on force distribution across different areas of the palm – from light touch to firm grip.

Back of the Hand

  • Six motion-capture modules form a complete tracking system for hand movement.
  • Five modules are located at the fingertips and one in the center of the back of the hand.
  • By combining these sensor data with kinematic algorithms, the glove calculates finger flexion angles, finger spreading, and the spatial pose of the palm.

Data Acquisition Board

The cables from the motion-capture modules run through a protected cable sleeve to the data acquisition board located on the arm. An LED indicator on the board displays the current status of the glove.

 Scope of Delivery

  • 1 × Wuji Glove (left or right)
  • 1 × Data acquisition board with arm strap
  • 1 × USB-C to Ethernet adapter (with power supply)
