| contents | Resistive tactile sensing gloves have captured the interest of researchers spanning diverse domains, such as robotics, healthcare, and human-computer interaction. However, existing fabrication methods often require labor-intensive assembly or costly equipment, limiting accessibility. Leveraging flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) technology, we present an automated pipeline for generating resistive tactile sensing glove design files solely from a simple hand photo on legal-size paper, which can be readily supplied to commercial board houses for manufacturing. Our method enables cost-effective, accessible production at under \$130 per glove with sensor assembly times under 15 minutes. Sensor performance was characterized under varying pressure loads, and a preliminary user evaluation showcases four unique automatically manufactured designs, evaluated for their reliability and comfort. |
