Abstract
A hand gesture sensing system includes a glove, five bionic tendons, five optical sensors, and a micro controller unit. The five bionic tendons are disposed in five sheaths of the glove, respectively. The five optical sensors are disposed in the glove and configured to detect the displacement or the deformation of the five bionic tendons, thereby identifying a hand gesture of a user when wearing the glove.
Claims9
A hand gesture sensing system using bionic tendons, comprising:
- a first glove including a first sheath, a second sheath, a third sheath, a fourth sheath, and a fifth sheath;
- a first bionic tendon disposed in the first sheath;
- a second bionic tendon disposed in the second sheath;
- a third bionic tendon disposed in the third sheath;
- a fourth bionic tendon disposed in the fourth sheath;
- a fifth bionic tendon disposed in the fifth sheath;
- a first optical sensor disposed in the first glove and configured to detect a first displacement or a first deformation of the first bionic tendon;
- a second optical sensor disposed in the first glove and configured to detect a second displacement or a second deformation of the second bionic tendon;
- a third optical sensor disposed in the first glove and configured to detect a third displacement or a third deformation of the third bionic tendon;
- a fourth optical sensor disposed in the first glove and configured to detect a fourth displacement or a fourth deformation of the fourth bionic tendon;
- a fifth optical sensor disposed in the first glove and configured to detect a fifth displacement or a fifth deformation of the fifth bionic tendon;
- and
- a first micro controller unit configured to identify a first hand gesture of a user when wearing the first glove according to the first through fifth displacement or according to the first through fifth deformation.
