Abstract:We report on the development, test and comparison of a prototype sensor glove for 3D shape detection of the human hand. The prototype is based on polymer optical fibers with eccentrically inscribed Bragg gratings, which are mantled with a simple jacket woven into a textile fabric glove. All of these elements are lightweight and flexible, taking away the drawback of motion handicaps, that sensor gloves usually come with due to material stiffness. The sensor glove is tested with a set of approximately 15 differe… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
