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