## Abstract

A hand motion detection device includes a motion detection portion on a finger joint of a first hand. The motion detection portion is configured to generate detection information for feedback of finger joint movement during a stretching movement and a flexion movement of a finger of the first hand so that the motion detection portion can generate in real time the detection information for feedback of the finger joint movement during the stretching movement and the flexion movement of the finger of the first hand. The motion detection portion is connected to a control portion and configured for transmitting the detection information to the control portion, which is adapted to generate an execution instruction according to the detection information so that real-time and accurate acquisition of finger joint motion information of the first hand and timely transmission of the detection information to the control portion can be achieved.
