Data Glove Based on Flexible Fiber Optic Sensor for Gesture Capture

Abstract

The development of data glove is very rapid, and it is widely used in the field of human-robot interaction. Flexible optical fiber sensors are widely used in data gloves. Hereby, a flexible data glove based on space-division multiplexed flexible optical fiber sensor is proposed. The fiber exhibits high optical transmission stability and good sensing performance under deformation. Our data glove accurately recognizes and tracks gestures, and then guide the manipulator to make the same gesture. It is believed that the application of data glove will be more widespread.
