Diver-X Announces ContactGlove3 Pro — Robotics Data Glove

Targeting high-precision fingertip tracking via EMF (electromagnetic field) technology as the standard interface for robot teleoperation and imitation learning data collection

Diver-X Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo / Representative Director: Yamato Sakoda) announces the ContactGlove3 Pro, a robotics data glove. This product delivers high-precision fingertip tracking via EMF (electromagnetic field) technology with native ROS 2 / C++ / Python SDK support and cross-platform compatibility across Linux / macOS / Windows, starting at US$3,999 . It is a professional-grade interface designed for robot teleoperation and work data collection.

What Is ContactGlove3 Pro?

ContactGlove3 Pro is an industry-grade data glove designed primarily for robot teleoperation and work data collection. It features high-precision fingertip tracking via EMF (electromagnetic field) technology, a glove structure integrated to the fingertips of all five fingers, native ROS 2 / C++ / Python SDK support, and cross-platform compatibility across Linux / macOS / Windows. It aims to become the “standard interface for fingertip data collection” in R&D environments at research labs, startups, and enterprises.

Grasping, assembly, and delicate object manipulation — the precise fingertip motions that cameras, markers, and rigid-body trackers struggle to capture — have long been a challenge in robot learning and teleoperation. ContactGlove3 Pro addresses this challenge head-on as an industry-grade interface, enabling large-scale, high-quality fingertip data collection required for recent robot learning research including Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models and imitation learning.

Absolute Position Tracking via EMF (Electromagnetic Field) Technology

ContactGlove3 Pro employs EMF (electromagnetic field) tracking. Unlike conventional bending sensors that estimate finger bending angles, the EMF method directly captures the 3D positions of fingertips and joints as absolute coordinates.

This enables the following characteristics:

• Drift-free: No sensor drift accumulates during long continuous use, eliminating the need for recalibration

• High precision: world-highest-level accuracy — under a median of 0.5 mm and maximum of 1.5 mm sensor position error in the recommended environment (*based on our measurement method)

• 5-finger × 6DoF measurement: Simultaneous acquisition of position and orientation for all fingertips, enabling accurate recording of delicate grasping and assembly motions

Integrated Glove Structure to the Fingertips — Capturing Delicate Finger Interactions

ContactGlove3 Pro adopts a glove structure that covers all five fingertips in one piece, with high-precision measurement coils built into each fingertip. Simply wearing it allows independent, high-precision measurement of each fingertip’s position and orientation, faithfully capturing delicate inter-finger interactions such as fingers touching, pinching, and interlocking. No separate components need to be attached to the fingertips — precise measurement is complete with the glove alone.

Expandability — Optional Haptic and Other Features

ContactGlove3 Pro includes an expansion function through which additional options such as haptic feedback can be added in the future.
