We finally got the Robot Hand and Glove Controller working fully! ^_^! Super happy about this.It works pretty well too, and we already have loads of ideas to make it even better. Publiée par Connor McLaine Pope sur Mercredi 2 décembre 2015

Controlling the InMoov Hand with a sensor glove. We used 4.5″ resistive strips in a voltage divider network connected to a dedicated 10-bit ADC that sends data to a Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi packages the data and sends it via Wi-Fi to a second Raspberry Pi that turns the 10-bit values into duty cycle commands to the servos.
We were able to wirelessly control the hand from over 50 feet away without any lag whatsoever :), and it works so fast! We only used a linear algorithm to translate from ADC value to duty cycle; so there is *loads* of room for improvement in modeling the finger movement!
Our next plan is to build the rest of the bicep/shoulder, install loads of accelerometers on a sensor sleeve, and try to control the entire arm wirelessly with a sensor glove and sleeve! Can’t wait.
Very cool!! Thanks for posting the link! 50 feet of range is pretty interesting for many purposes! I am very glad the project has been a fun and interesting experience. I will be happy to see your progress on the bicep and shoulder!
