Flex sensors and MPU6050 sensors responses on smart glove for sign language translation

Abstract

Flex sensor is a transducer that measures the level of curvature of the sensor. One type of flex sensor is a resistive flex sensor. This type of sensor has output resistance value that proportionally to the level of flexibility of the sensor. The gyroscope and accelerometer sensor used in the research is the MPU6050 that has measurements on earth gravity. The glove was attached by the flex sensor and gyroscope sensors for sensing fingers and hand movement. This paper presented data on flex and MPU6050 sensor response. The microcontroller is used in the research was Arduino Nano controller to read flex sensors and MPU6050 sensors.
