Abstract
This paper presents a novel technique for development of data glove with Ionic Polymer Metal Composite (IPMC). IPMC is one of the varieties of Electro Active Polymer (EAPs). The IPMC strips have been used as sensor between the intermediate and distal phalanges of the index finger as well as between distal and proximal phalanges of the thumb of a user's hand. Human grasping can be performed using at least two fingers where thumb assumes an important role. Utilizing this phenomenon a data glove has been developed using IPMC sensors. These IPMC strips provide voltage output when subjected to a mechanical deformation hence it has been used as a sensor to capture the bending motion of a human finger.
