R1 is built on the knowledge SenseGlove has gained from collaborating with more than 500 organisations across 50 countries. It combines active force feedback, integrated vibrotactile feedback, and millimeter-level accuracy and precision in finger tracking. With 40 degrees of finger tracking and a 1,000 Hz control loop for force and position control, the glove will translate human motion and applied force directly into robotic action. 

In practice, this allows users to feel the shape and resistance of objects a robot touches, as well as the pressure applied during a grip. Based on the feedback provided through R1, operators can adjust their hold instantly while keeping a safe distance, allowing robots to perform delicate or hazardous tasks, such as handling toxic materials or cleaning up dangerous environments, with precision. It also enables users to teach humanoid robots exactly how firmly or gently they should interact with their environment. 

R1 arrives after years of research and development grounded in SenseGlove’s origins at Delft University of Technology, often referred to as the MIT of Europe. SenseGlove’s first prototype was created in 2017 together with Volkswagen, leading to the SenseGlove DK1, which became widely adopted for teleoperation and contributed to the 10 million dollar Ana Avatar XPrize-winning system developed by the University of Bonn. Nova 2, SenseGlove’s third generation haptic glove, later became one of the leading solutions for virtual reality training, used by organizations such as NASA and Emirates to support safer and more effective skill transfer. R1 expands this foundation to address the needs of humanoid robotics, industrial automation, and advanced research. 

SenseGlove R1 will become officially available on December 11, 2025. With its launch, SenseGlove will extend its commitment to training the workforce of the future, both human and robotic, and will provide organisations with a precise new instrument for teleoperation, robotic learning, and dexterous manipulation research.
