01
We design compact, skin-worn actuators that reproduce tactile sensations directly at the fingertips. Our devices are lightweight enough for continuous wear and precise enough to convey fine surface textures, contact forces, and slip events during robotic teleoperation and virtual reality interaction.
Wearable Tactile Device
Delivering rich touch sensations to the human hand
02
Robot Hands
Replicating the dexterity of the human hand
The human hand is one of the most versatile tools in nature. We engineer multi-fingered robotic end-effectors that combine rigid linkages and soft compliant actuation elements to achieve a broad manipulation repertoire. Our hands are designed for both standalone autonomous operation and seamless integration into teleoperation systems.
03
Dexterous Teleoperation System
Making remote manipulation feel natural
We build end-to-end systems that couple a human operator's hand motion to a dexterous robot hand through a bidirectional haptic feedback loop. The operator feels what the robot touches; the robot mirrors the operator's intent. Our research addresses stability under communication delay, and intuitive mapping between human and robot kinematics.
04
Wearable Tactile Sensing
Capturing the richness of human touch
Understanding contact is fundamental to dexterous manipulation. We develop flexible, conformable sensor arrays that wrap around the hand and fingertips to capture multi-modal contact information at high spatial and temporal resolution. Our sensing systems collect data to control teleoperation pipelines, enabling robots to learn manipulationas the way humans do.
