Technical details
ROBOTIS HX5-D20 and Smartgloves II specifications
A 20-DoF robotic hand needs an equally expressive input. Smartgloves II capture each finger’s articulation, and a retargeting pipeline maps it to the HX5-D20’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 ROBOTIS HX5-D20?
Yes. Rokoko Smartgloves II provide real-time hand and finger tracking data that can be mapped to the joints of the ROBOTIS HX5-D20 through a retargeting pipeline. The HX5-D20’s 20 degrees of freedom make it particularly well suited to reproducing detailed human hand articulation.
Does the ROBOTIS HX5-D20 support tactile sensing?
Yes. ROBOTIS specifies tactile sensing at each fingertip of the HX5-D20, providing information about physical contact 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.
Can I use this setup for imitation learning and data collection?
Yes. Smartgloves II can capture detailed human hand demonstrations that can be incorporated into robotics training pipelines. These movements can then be retargeted to the HX5-D20 to create robot-specific demonstrations for manipulation research and policy training.
How can I access the ROBOTIS HX5-D20 retargeting integration?
Contact our team using the form above. We can discuss the HX5-D20 setup, available integration resources, and how to get started with Smartgloves II for your specific robotics application.
