Development of a wireless glove based on RFID Sensor

Sensor gloves are devices used to implement interfaces for human-machine interactions which are utilized in a wide range of applications such as control of embedded systems, translation of sign language, gestures recognition, medical rehabilitation etc. This paper presents a wireless sensor glove based on the use of RFID sensors. For this type of sensors, the energy supplied for measurement and for the communication of measured data back to the reader is provided exclusively by the reader via the electromagnetic field. Therefore, it was important for the device to be designed so that the power consumption be minimal. For this reason, our sensor glove is designed using devices capable of harvesting the electromagnetic energy from the reader, monitor this energy and consume it only when needed by using a microcontroller which features several very low power consumption modes.
