This project aims to develop a high-fidelity haptic glove featuring miniaturized Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) actuators to enable precise, multi-degree-of-freedom kinesthetic feedback. By integrating lightweight, high-force CVTs, the glove will enhance dexterous manipulation in teleoperation and virtual environments. The project will also investigate the relationship between degrees of freedom and manipulation performance, informing future haptic interface designs for robotics, augmented reality, and human-machine interaction.

A haptic glove with miniaturized CVT actuators, enabling 3-DOF finger motion, high-force grasps, and precision manipulation while maintaining high Z-width for realistic haptic feedback.
