Rokoko Smartgloves II can be integrated with RobotEra XHAND1 hand in real-time - get in touch for more information.
Robotic hand integration RobotEra x Rokoko for teleoperation
Control the RobotEra XHAND1 with Rokoko Smartgloves II. Precise human finger tracking drives the 12-DoF robot hand in real time - for teleoperation, robot learning and human demonstration data collection.
Smartgloves II compatible
At a glance
RobotEra, a Beijing-based developer of humanoid robots, builds the XHAND1: a five-finger hand with 12 active degrees of freedom and optional 3D tactile fingertips. Rokoko Smartgloves II capture human hand and finger motion in real time, and a retargeting pipeline maps it to XHAND1 joint commands - for teleoperation, robot learning and demonstration data.

Technical details
RobotEra XHAND1 and Smartgloves II specifications
XHAND1’s 12 active joints, including a 3-DoF thumb and index finger, need detailed input. Smartgloves II capture each finger’s articulation, and a retargeting pipeline maps it to XHAND1’s joints.

Frequently asked questions
Can't find what you're looking for? Shoot us an email at support@rokoko.com
Can Rokoko Smartgloves II control the RobotEra XHAND1?
Yes. Rokoko Smartgloves II provide real-time hand and finger tracking data that can be mapped to XHAND1 joint movements through a retargeting pipeline. The mapping translates human finger articulation into commands for the XHAND1’s 12 active degrees of freedom.
Does the XHAND1 support tactile sensing?
Yes. XHAND1 can be equipped with high-resolution tactile arrays around each fingertip, providing 3D force sensing including tangential forces. This makes it possible to combine human motion demonstrations from Smartgloves II with tactile information generated by the robotic hand during manipulation.
Does the ROBOTIS Hand support ROS 2?
Yes. ROBOTIS provides ROS 2 Jazzy integration using ros2_control, including joint-level command loops, teleoperation and tactile feedback handling. Rokoko also provides an open-source ROS 2 bridge for bringing solved Smartgloves hand tracking data into ROS 2 environments.
How many degrees of freedom does the RobotEra XHAND1 have?
The XHAND1 has 12 active degrees of freedom across five fingers. The thumb and index finger each have three degrees of freedom, while the middle, ring and little fingers each have two.
How can I access the RobotEra XHAND1 retargeting integration?
Contact our team using the form above. We can discuss the XHAND1 setup, available integration resources, and how to get started with Smartgloves II for your specific robotics application.
