Anthropomorphic interface for robot arm programming through a data glove

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to present an implementation of a system in which a data glove worn on a human hand is interfaced with a robot. A controlling program translates the movements done by the glove into robotic motion. This implementation may have future prospects in remote handling in a protected or hazardous factory environment. The equipment used in this implementation were two robots and their controllers, a data glove and it's controller, an X-Y glove sensor system and a personal computer.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
