Force-blindness is holding robots back and they need to learn how to touch!
Hand-force data for robotics and physical AI.
Capture human grasping and manipulation forces to train, validate and improve robotic systems.

Robots Need to Learn Force Before They Can Safely Touch Us
Most robotic force-sensing demos focus on touching hard objects, but the real world is often soft, delicate, and unpredictable.
For future humanoid robots and physical AI systems, understanding how much force is applied to soft objects — including materials similar to the human body — will be essential for safe and intelligent interaction. LoadGlove helps capture real human grasping force data, enabling robots to learn how to touch, hold, and manipulate soft objects with the right amount of force.
Grasp strategy
Measure how force is shared between fingers and palm during manipulation.
AI training
Create richer examples for physical AI and humanoid robot learning.
Validation
Compare robot hand force profiles against human reference tasks.
Expanded application notes
Measurement questions and useful outputs.
What force strategy does a human use during grasping, manipulation, release and correction of object slip?
Time-aligned grasp force, contact timing, finger contribution and synchronized datasets for robotics or physical AI research.
Recommended setup
Define the task, expected force range, sensor location and feedback threshold before testing so every trial produces comparable data.
Scientific value
The application becomes stronger when force data is synchronized with video, timing events, questionnaires, motion capture or operator notes.

Humanoid robots fail at daily tasks not because they can't move, but because they can't feel
Understand Force on Soft Objects
For future humanoid robots and physical AI systems, understanding how much force is applied to soft objects — including materials similar to the human body — will be essential for safe and intelligent interaction.
