Juqiao Tactile Glove
Woven fiber pressure sensor from Juqiao Precision (矩侨精密) — a conformable textile electronic skin capturing whole-hand contact distribution at up to 200 Hz for teleoperation, dexterous manipulation, and imitation learning datasets.
Fabric That Senses Touch
The Juqiao Tactile Glove is not a rigid sensor mounted to a glove — the sensing surface is the fabric itself. Conductive fiber pressure elements are woven directly into a soft textile substrate, conforming naturally to the hand without rigid enclosures or gaps in coverage. The high-frequency version (高频版) achieves up to 200 Hz full-array sampling, capturing contact-onset transients, slip events, and grasp dynamics in real time.
Unlike point-contact sensors or rigid tactile tiles, the textile form factor distributes sensing nodes across the full palm, finger pads, and fingertips in one continuous surface — capturing whole-hand contact geometry rather than isolated fingertip force/torque. This makes it particularly valuable for manipulation tasks where contact area and pressure distribution determine grasp success.
Your Setup Journey
From unboxing to live pressure data in under 10 minutes. Platform integration adds another 15–20 minutes.

Put on the glove, seat the FPC ribbon cable, connect USB acquisition module to host PC
Install Python SDK
Install pyserial, verify serial port enumeration, confirm live frames
Run Frame Reader
Launch the Python frame reader and verify all 64 sensing nodes respond to pressure
Zero-Point Calibration
Run baseline calibration with glove relaxed and unloaded
Platform Integration
Register as a tactile node in a Fearless Platform teleoperation session, record episodes
Hardware at a Glance
Use Cases
The Juqiao glove integrates directly with the SVRC hardware ecosystem for contact-rich data collection and research.
Tactile-Augmented Teleoperation
Wear the glove while operating an OpenArm or DK1. Pressure data is recorded at up to 200 Hz alongside robot joint states — creating datasets that encode where and how hard the operator touched, not just motion.
Dexterous Manipulation Data Collection
Whole-hand pressure coverage captures the full contact geometry during peg insertion, cable routing, and deformable object manipulation — observation modalities that vision-only pipelines miss.
Imitation Learning with Tactile Observations
Behavior cloning and diffusion policy pipelines that include tactile observations consistently outperform vision-only baselines on contact-rich tasks. The Juqiao's high-frequency, 64-node coverage is well-matched to these pipelines.
Humanoid Integration
JQ Industries has demonstrated the textile skin on the Unitree G1 humanoid robot. The same integration pattern applies to other humanoid platforms with the Fearless Platform WebSocket bridge.
