Research index Compare gloves Check a configuration Data collection cost Evidence & coverage DROID RESEARCH · SOURCES CHECKED NOVEMBER 10, 2026
Check the interface before the headline spec. Use these filters to screen the reviewed documentation. Unknown capabilities stay visible by default. A documented interface still needs validation with your robot, software version and task.

Source-backed record Pro; separate from Pro Haptic
Tracking approach Electromagnetic hand tracking Manufacturer description; no independent accuracy benchmark reproduced.
Source: MANUS ↗ Hand model 25 degrees of freedom Reported anatomical model; not a count of robot actuators or independently measured sensors.
Source: MANUS ↗ Linux path C++ SDK: integrated or remote The application handles calibration and pairing in integrated mode; remote mode requires MANUS Core on Windows.
Source: MANUS ↗ SDK license scope Robotics edition lists SDK and ROS 2 Confirm the quoted edition, release and subscription or perpetual terms.
Source: MANUS ↗ ROS 2 interface Package included with SDK 3.0 Publishes glove data; does not itself establish a robot-hand controller.
Source: MANUS ↗ Reported data rate 120 Hz default ROS 2 publication Topic publication rate, not a measured sensor-to-actuator latency.
Source: MANUS ↗ Finger force feedback Not established in reviewed sources This record covers Pro, not the separately named Pro Haptic model.
Read the integration questions → Source-backed record Nova 2; firmware version matters
Tracking approach Cable-extension measurements Pinky flexion follows the ring finger in the documented hand model.
Source: SenseGlove ↗ Finger force feedback Passive resistance on four fingers Thumb through ring finger; the brakes resist flexion rather than actively moving fingers.
Source: SenseGlove ↗ Reported finger resistance Up to 20 N per equipped finger Manufacturer maximum; not robot-hand gripping force.
Source: SenseGlove ↗ Reported data rate 60 Hz cable-extension measurement Sensor measurement rate; not the same quantity as a ROS publisher frequency.
Source: SenseGlove ↗ ROS 2 interface Jazzy on Ubuntu 24.04 Installation instructions at commit 30c9624. This does not establish support for other distributions.
Source: SenseGlove ↗ Global hand position External tracker required Account for tracker, mount and calibration in the complete system.
Source: SenseGlove ↗ Firmware-dependent connection 1.x: Bluetooth Classic; 2.x: BLE Pairing procedure changes across firmware versions.
Source: SenseGlove ↗ Read the integration questions → Source-backed record UDCAP with HandDriver; record exact release
Tracking approach Flexible sensors Manufacturer description; exact sensor revision must be confirmed for the ordered unit.
Source: UDEXREAL ↗ Reported minimum resolution ≤0.1° Resolution claim, not validated absolute accuracy or repeatability.
Source: UDEXREAL ↗ Data representations Joint angles and quaternions The documentation assigns different coordinate conventions to these streams.
Source: UDEXREAL ↗ Version boundary HandDriver 2.1.2 hand model The page contrasts this model with legacy conventions. Preserve version tags in collected datasets.
Source: UDEXREAL ↗ Host software HandDriver: Windows and Linux Ubuntu The robotics guide recommends HandDriver Web. Exact OS release and processor support remain to be confirmed.
Source: UDEXREAL ↗ Robot-hand mapping Matching feature in v2.2.1 Windows / Linux Web Supplier-provided hand identifiers select adapted output. A robot motion-control program is not included by default.
Source: UDEXREAL ↗ ROS 2 interface Not established in reviewed sources A C++/Python SDK heading does not by itself establish a supported ROS 2 package.
Finger force feedback Not established in reviewed sources No resistive finger-force capability established by the sources reviewed for this record.
Read the integration questions → Source-backed record Pro Haptic; distinct from base Pro
Tracking approach Electromagnetic hand tracking Manufacturer description; no independent tracking result reproduced.
Source: MANUS ↗ Hand model 25 degrees of freedom Anatomical model, not the number of independently actuated robot joints.
Source: MANUS ↗ Feedback mechanism Embedded vibrotactile actuators SDK customization is advertised; the exact haptic API release must be confirmed.
Source: MANUS ↗ Operator changeover Detachable Haptic Top Module Pairs with a personally sized Sensor Glove; price the complete operator kit.
Source: MANUS ↗ Software entitlement Robotics edition lists SDK, ROS 2 and Linux License availability is not proof that every SDK release supports this hardware variant.
Source: MANUS ↗ Resistive finger feedback Not established in reviewed sources Vibration is documented; resistive or active finger force is not established here.
Exact ROS 2 configuration Not established in reviewed sources Confirm the Pro Haptic hardware revision, haptic API and ROS package together.
Read the integration questions → Source-backed record R1 / Rembrandt; prototype revision matters
Finger force feedback Active force on thumb through ring finger No pinky force feedback; active force is distinct from Nova 2’s passive brakes.
Source: SenseGlove ↗ Vibration feedback Fingertip and palm actuators Separate from the finger force mechanism.
Source: SenseGlove ↗ Raw exoskeleton update rate 1000 Hz without filtering Raw linkage data; not a guaranteed application rate or human-fingertip accuracy.
Source: SenseGlove ↗ Global wrist position External tracking required The glove cannot determine its own world position.
Source: SenseGlove ↗ ROS 2 interface Dedicated R1 Python API wrapper Pinned commit 5005aff. Specific ROS distribution support is not established by the reviewed setup guide.
Source: SenseGlove ↗ ROS message units Angles: rad; fingertip positions: mm; forces: mN Fingertip positions are relative to each finger-base origin; preserve both frame and units.
Source: SenseGlove ↗ Python API host platforms Windows and Linux listed USB-C required. Exact processor, OS and API release still need validation.
Source: SenseGlove ↗ Tracking test conditions API page identifies prototype 0.4 jig tests Aligned exoskeleton linkages; the page separately discusses prototype 0.5. Do not apply the old measurements to every delivered revision.
Source: SenseGlove ↗ Read the integration questions → Why there is no single accuracy ranking Keep the quantities separate. Angular resolution, fingertip position error and hand-model degrees of freedom answer different questions. A topic’s publication rate is also different from sensor measurement rate or end-to-end control latency. The records preserve those distinctions instead of turning them into one score.
Compare a complete capture session. Ask each supplier to run the same object set, operator changes and acceptance checks. Measure usable episodes per paid hour, calibration drift, clock alignment and intervention time. Include host computers, tracking hardware, licenses and integration in the quote.
