Android application for mobile phones to communicate with Glove pattern and the FUM BIONIC HAND

--Ferdowsi University of Mashhad “FUM Bionic Hand” was built in the FUM robotics lab. This prosthetic hand is intelligent and has the ability to communicate wirelessly with computers. We have recently added new features, including a glove pattern to train the hand for shape grasping and also Android app for mobile that is an interface to transmit signal from the Glove and EMG received signal and to communicate with the prosthesis.This application is designed for disabled people to communicate and control their EMG signals received by the prosthesis. Thus disables can determine the threshold of incoming signal. As the EMG signal is variable and dependent on various conditions; in this method the disables can determine two ranges for the system: full contraction and relaxation. And to according to the condition the thresholds of the opening and closing of the fingers is determined by the software.
