The Intelligent Modeling of Human Hand Motion Using Magnetic Based Techniques

Abstract

With increasing use of robots instead of human in industrial, medicine and military applications etc. the importance of research on designing and building of robots is increasing. In this paper various methods of the human hand motion simulation has been investigated and we used one of most common method named Data-gloves which extract data from hand and then we simulated hand motion during several processing stages. At first step we designed and built circuits to digitize analog data received from sensors and we sent them to computer. Then we received extracted data in MATLAB and processed them to simulate bending of the wrist and fingers joints graphically. In this method we mapped data linearly to 0-90 ° and rotate points around relative Coordinate axis in the specific conditions. Results show that we can simulate hand motion in real time with low cost, lowest error and without complex and expensive equipments.
