๐ฌ Overview
DOGlove is an open-source haptic force-feedback glove that pairs 21-DOF hand tracking with force and vibration feedback, making precise, contact-rich teleoperation of dexterous robotic hands practical and affordable. It is the data-collection instrument of the imitation-learning era: an operator wears the glove to teleoperate a robot hand through a task while the system records high-quality demonstration data to train manipulation policies โ and the haptic feedback lets the operator genuinely feel the contact, dramatically improving demonstration quality.
โญ Why DOGlove
Multi-modal haptic feedback โ force and vibration feedback let the operator feel contact, not just see it.
21-DOF hand tracking โ captures rich, high-DOF hand motion for faithful teleoperation and data collection.
Low-cost & open-source โ built from 3D-printed and off-the-shelf parts with fully open hardware and software.
Pipeline-ready โ demonstrated across multiple robotic hands and integrated with modern imitation-learning workflows (LeRobot-class).

๐งฉ Detailed Technical Information
How it works. The glove tracks the operator's hand across 21 degrees of freedom and maps that motion to a dexterous robot hand in real time. Integrated actuators deliver force and vibration feedback back to the operator's fingers, closing the haptic loop so the operator feels contact and grasp force during teleoperation โ the key to collecting high-quality, contact-aware demonstrations.
Why it matters for Physical AI. Modern robot-learning methods are data-hungry: policy quality is bounded by demonstration quality. A haptic teleoperation glove produces richer, more accurate contact-rich demonstrations than vision-only teleoperation, and DOGlove makes that capability accessible at a fraction of the cost of commercial haptic rigs โ integrating directly into imitation-learning pipelines.
