Wireless Data Glove for Gesture-Based Robotic Control

A wireless data glove was developed to control a Talon robot. Sensors mounted on the glove send signals to a processing unit, worn on the user's forearm that translates hand postures into data. An RF transceiver, also mounted on the user, transmits the encoded signals representing the hand postures and dynamic gestures to the robot via RF link. Commands to control the robot's position, camera, claw, and arm include "activate mobility," "hold on," "point camera," and "grab object."
