What is Sharpa Avatar AE01 haptic teleoperation data glove?

Teleoperation means operating a machine from a distance, so a person's movements can steer a robot that is somewhere else. Haptic technology adds a sense of touch to such control by applying forces, vibrations or motions to the user. The Sharpa AE01 is a glove worn on the hand; the maker describes it as an exoskeleton data glove with haptic feedback for teleoperation and egocentric data capture (recording hand movements from the wearer's own point of view). It comes from Sharpa, which says it builds general-purpose, full-stack solutions that allow robots to manipulate tools and perform complex tasks with human-like dexterity.
