The AcceleGlove™ instrumented gesture recognition glove (“designated iGlove for DoD/NIH applications”) has been developed under SBIR grants from the U.S. Army and Department of Education. The iGlove is a low cost gesture recognition system based on patented technology detecting the individual motions of the finger, hand, wrist, and arm. The iGlove is being further refined under a grant from the National Institutes of Health to assist with physical therapy, and the Office of Naval Research for military hand signal recognition. The iGlove, as a robot controller, uses the natural movements of the operator’s hand/arm as the input device to control both the movement of a robot itself, as well as the movement of ancillary devices such as grasping and lifting arms. Additional US Patents pending.
