Two Wheels Mobile Robot Navigation by Using a Low Cost Dataglove (GloveMAP)

A low cost wired glove system is developed by designing a new glove which has the similar function with the conventional dataglove and has been named as GloveMAP. The system involves the finger movements with some of activities to control the direction of the two wheels mobile robot. Flexible bend sensors are attached to the index and middle fingers to obtain the voltage changes from the different activities of fingers bending. The proposed systems successfully navigate the two wheels mobile robot by the combination of voltage changes from these two fingers to give the instruction for right, left, forward and backward directions.
