Buy the Kit · $1,499Real Footage
This is the glove today, tracking a hand live from its own motion sensors. Out on a job, it all sits under the cover glove.
Six-axis IMUs on the thumb and every finger
On the fingertips and palm, showing when and where you grip
The red and black cover glove goes on top, or use a Milwaukee or any other standard glove
The Data
Every recording is AI and robot training data from real work: egocentric video of what you saw, synced with how your hand moved and what it touched. This is real output from the glove and an OAK-D Pro W.
Download a free sample2016 × 1520 color and a global-shutter stereo pair at 30 fps, from your point of view
21 joints and 21 joint angles for every frame, computed from the glove
10 pads, as raw conductance and as estimated newtons
Each job cut into plain-language steps and packaged in LeRobot format
These frames come from a real job: an electrician installing two lights, recorded with the glove over 26 minutes and cut into 25 labelled steps.
How it works
Selling data starts with recording it, and your skills are what robots need to learn. Buy the kit, download our iOS or Android app and record the jobs you already do. We turn it into AI training data, cleaned, labelled, annotated and stored, so it's ready to sell to robotics and AI companies.

Recordings become labelled, stored datasets, ready to sell to robotics companies under your license
The Cover Glove Goes on TopWho It's For
Robots have to learn more than the trades. If your job is done by hand, from wiring a panel to cleaning a home or moving stock in a warehouse, the glove can record it, so data collection happens while you work.
Household Cleaning
Warehouse & Moving
How It Works
Four steps from a box on your doorstep to a dataset that's ready to sell.
We send you the sensor glove and wrist box. Add a camera and the extras you need.
Install our iOS or Android app and connect your gear.
Wear the glove under the cover glove and do the job with your hands in view.
We clean, label, annotate and store what you send us, so it's ready to sell to robotics companies.
You Could Make Up To
Our estimate of what one hour of glove and egocentric stereo data can sell for once it's cleaned, labelled and annotated, because contact-rich hand data from real work is hard for robotics teams to get.
The Glove
A thin white knit liner with IMU chips sewn along every finger and wired to a wrist box. Every sensor runs at 200 Hz, and all of it sits under the cover glove.
Explore the kit11 six-axis IMUs give a 21-joint 3D hand pose for every video frame
10 force pads record contact and grip on the fingertips and palm
200 Hz on a clock fitted to the camera's, with glove events about 9 ms from the video
A red and black cover glove goes on top. A Milwaukee or any standard work glove works too
Compatibility
MANO is the hand model robotics and hand-tracking teams know best. Talos hand pose comes in the same 21-joint order, so it can drop straight into MANO fitting and retargeting pipelines.
| MANO-based hand data | Talos glove data | |
|---|---|---|
| Joints | 21: the wrist, three per finger and five fingertips | The same 21, in MANO joint order |
| Where pose comes from | Usually fitted from camera footage or motion capture | Measured on the hand by 11 IMUs, even when a tool hides it from the camera |
| Touch | Not part of the model | 10 force pads at 200 Hz |
| Other hand formats | OpenPose and MediaPipe use their own keypoint order | Reorder indices for both are included |
| Model parameters | Pose and shape parameters, under MANO's own license | Not included. Buyers with a MANO license can fit them to these joints |
MANO is licensed by the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, and commercial use needs a separate agreement. Talos isn't affiliated with MANO. MANO license terms
Cameras
The glove records your hand. The camera records what you see. Add one to your kit or use your own. Our value estimate is for glove plus stereo video, so stereo is the strongest option.
What we record with
A depth camera built for robotics, in a 91 g bar that fixes to a hard-hat brim. Also sold as the narrower-view OAK-D Pro.
Rugged and easy to mount
A tough wide-angle action camera with strong stabilization and plenty of hard-hat and head-strap mounts.
Already in your pocket
You may already own the camera. A head or chest mount turns it into a first-person recorder.

Compare CamerasWe sell a sensor glove kit to people who work with their hands. You download our iOS or Android app and record the work you already do. We clean, label, annotate and store the data, so it's ready to sell to robotics companies.
Recordings of real tasks that robots learn from. Ours pairs egocentric video, meaning first-person video from a head-mounted camera, with the hand motion and touch readings from the glove, all synced and labelled.
First-person video, filmed from a camera on your head while you work. It shows a task the way the person doing it saw it.
Your Talos license lets you sublicense the data you capture to buyers such as robotics and AI companies, as the Terms allow. We clean, label, annotate and store it so it's ready for a buyer, but no sale is guaranteed. Read the license terms →
Buyers include robotics and AI companies. The usual routes are data marketplaces, brokers and direct deals, and their fees and who they accept vary, so compare them first. Read our guides to selling data →
Not directly. AI training jobs are paid work for a company, and Talos doesn't pay you to record. You buy the kit, record your own work and can sell the data under your license, and no sale is guaranteed. Read our guides →
It can be side work on top of the jobs you already do, but it isn't a sure one. The kit costs $1,499, all sales are final, and no sale of your data or income is guaranteed. Read the purchase terms →
We estimate you could make up to $120 to $150 per recorded hour of glove and egocentric stereo data once it's cleaned, labelled and annotated. That's an estimate, not a guarantee of a sale or of income: what data sells for depends on the task, its quality, demand and the buyer. Read the earnings terms →
Talos owns all lawful data captured on our equipment, even if you buy the glove to collect and sell data on your own and never send us anything. You own the hardware you buy, and you receive a non-exclusive license to use the data, sell it, sublicense it and train with it. Talos can also use and sell the same data, without paying you. Read the ownership terms →
No. Talos sells equipment. Like a camera maker, we don't direct or supervise what you record, and you are responsible for recording legally and getting every consent. Improper or illegal data isn't licensed to you, and we may delete it or report it. Read the misuse terms →
The equipment is sold as is and all sales are final. There's no refund or replacement if it doesn't work, it breaks, or you can't sell your data or make any money from it. The one exception is an item that arrives damaged, if you tell us within 7 days. Read the purchase terms →
No. Any work done by hand can be recorded, from electrical jobs and plumbing to household cleaning and warehouse moving.
The sensor glove is a thin liner that goes underneath. The kit comes with a red and black cover glove for on top, and a Milwaukee or any other standard work glove works too.
We record with the Luxonis OAK-D Pro W because it captures true stereo, and our value estimate is based on glove plus stereo video. A GoPro or an iPhone are common alternatives. You can add a camera when you buy the kit or use your own. Compare cameras →
MANO is a hand model rather than a glove. Talos delivers 21 joints in MANO's joint order, so the data drops into MANO fitting and retargeting pipelines. We don't include fitted MANO parameters, and buyers with a MANO license can fit them to our joints. See the comparison →
Rely on when contact happens, which pad is loaded and how force rises and falls. Absolute numbers are approximate: a single force reading can be off by about a third to a half, and joint angles can be offset by up to about 10 degrees. How accurate it is, plainly →
The glove is recording equipment, not protective equipment, and it never replaces rated electrical gloves. Record only on circuits that are switched off and verified dead, and take it off whenever it gets in the way of working safely. Read the safety points →
Get permission from whoever owns the property you're working in, your employer if you have one, and anyone who will be clearly seen or heard. That's your responsibility, not Talos's. Read the recording rules →
The Talos Capture Kit is $1,499. You can add a camera, head mount, battery pack, hard hat and more when you buy it. Buy the kit →
