Frequently asked questions

Which robotic hands do Rokoko Smartgloves II work with?
Smartgloves II work with various robotic hands, including BrainCo, Tesollo, Inspire, Wuji, ROBOTIS, RobotEra, Seed Robotics, LinkerBot and the LEAP Hand. The gloves capture the human hand, and the Device SDK lets you retarget that motion to your robot. See how it works here.
Which robotics tools does Rokoko integrate with?
The Device SDK supports ROS 2, NVIDIA Isaac Lab and the OpenXR hand-tracking format, and streams over TCP/IP to any other stack. Smartgloves II can also be added to optical setups like OptiTrack or Vicon, with the gloves covering the fingers that cameras can't see.
Why choose Rokoko over optical systems for research?
Portability + stability of data + budget: You can outfit more operators and collect more diverse motion data, trading off some peak fidelity and repeatability. Rokoko’s tools can be set up in minutes at any location. There’s no need to line of sight of cameras like with optical systems, which means that there are no issues with occlusion or sudden drops in data. The suits and gloves create a reliable and stable stream of data. Lastly, the many cameras and usage/subscription costs of optical systems, along with the vast amount of time needed for setup is a big hurdle.
Rokoko Smartsuit also comes in multiple different sizes from S-XL, making it easier for people to find the right fit. Customers can add additional textiles (without electronics) to their order to have a range of sizes to pick from. It takes less than 5 minutes to swap electronics from one suit to another.Do Smartgloves II provide tactile or haptic feedback?
No. Smartgloves II capture hand and finger motion and do not give tactile or haptic feedback.
What do I need to get started with Rokoko in robotics?
Most of our customers start with Smartgloves II and an SDK license. You can add a Coil Pro for global position or Smartsuit Pro II for full body capture. The system is portable and camera-free, so you can teleoperate or collect training data in a lab, an office or outdoors.
Which operating systems does Rokoko SDK support?
The Device SDK runs on Linux x64, Linux Arm64, Windows and macOS. Rokoko Studio software, however, runs on Windows and macOS only.
