Hanyang University Media Day held at CES 2026 provides platform for presentation
Applicable in various fields including robotics, VR, and healthcare
“Grateful for the help of researchers, fellow professors, and the support of the Industry-University Cooperation Foundation”
While CES 2026, the world’s largest consumer electronics show, was held in Las Vegas, a Media Day took place at the Hanyang University booth on January 7. During this event, the startup SILLO presented its ‘Smart Glove for Ultra-Precision Hand Motion Data Collection Using Fiber-Type Sensors.’ Choi Chang-soon, a professor in the School of Electronic Engineering, shared the motivation behind their participation: “I was curious to see if there is a demand for our product and if the industry would show interest.” Speaker Jo Ha-eun(Master’s student, School of Electronic Engineering) added, “Investors in related fields showed great interest and left feedback. It was a wonderful opportunity to think about how this will help users once it hits the market and to brainstorm future improvements.”
SILLO’s Smart Glove with thread-like sensors
For robotic hands to perform sophisticated movements, they must learn from human activity data. Conventional sensors are large and heavy, often allowing only one sensor to be attached per finger. Their rigid and bulky nature restricts movement and limits the ability to reflect actual human behavior. Professor Choi and the WEAR Lab developed a smart glove by integrating hair-thin sensors into threads and embroidering them directly into the fabric. The lab’s proprietary fiber sensors are small in volume and light in weight, allowing a high density of sensors to be attached in a limited space.
The glove measures the degree of bending using fiber-type tensile and strain sensors, while film-type pressure sensors inserted in the palm calculate the force of grip. Using the glove, users can extract incredibly detailed information from movements, such as the span between fingers or the pressure at the fingertips. Unlike conventional camera or magnetic-field-based sensors, these can analyze data without interference from the external environment. “Our goal is to train robots with human data using the glove, ultimately making robotic hands move exactly like humans,” Professor Choi explained.

SILLO envisions commercializing products based on the smart 토토사이트 악성코드 in the robotics, virtual entertainment, and healthcare markets. In the field of humanoid robot hands, the technology can implement delicate movements by helping robots mimic human hand gestures in detail.
In the VR market, it can serve as a replacement for joysticks. Users can enjoy a more immersive experience in the virtual world while wearing the glove. “The number of attractions using VR equipment is increasing,” Jo explained. “Using a glove makes it easier to reflect users’ actual movements into the virtual environment.”
Also, the technology holds great potential for the Healthcare sector. The human hand is closely connected to the brain and is often the first area to react when brain-related diseases occur. The sensors in the glove can be used to observe signals indicating brain disorders. While doctors currently rely on watching a patient perform specific tasks in a hospital, the smart glove allows for the collection of precise data during a patient's daily life. “The hands of stroke or Parkinson’s patients gradually suffer muscle loss and paralysis,” Jo said. “A convenient measuring method like this is a huge help in situations requiring real-time monitoring.”
From professor to CEO: research becomes business
Professor Choi jumped into the startup market because he believes that developing convenient technology to immediately impact our lives is one vital part of research. “Papers and startups have different goals within the larger framework of research,” he noted. He credited his achievement to others, saying, “I had been brainstorming this item for a long time, but I couldn't do it alone. It was possible thanks to the help of researchers and professors who participated in joint research.”
The support from the Hanyang University Industry-University Cooperation Foundation was also significant. “The foundation has a strong will to support startups and offers many great programs,” Choi said. The Foundation operates various support programs for every stage in startups, from establishment to operation. Choi added, “The staff members are full of passion. They gave us novel ideas we hadn't thought of and suggested unique applications of the technology.”
Professor Choi concluded by stating his goals: “My goal is to achieve commercialization in the robotics, VR, and medical fields, generate revenue, and grow the company. If last year was the stage of proving possibilities at the lab level, this year is the time to receive investment to realize the technology and commercialize the product.” Jo Ha-eun added her resolve, saying, “I want to continue my research as I still lack experience. I will supplement the shortcomings of the technology through various approaches.”
