Riassunto (Italiano)
This thesis presents the problem of human hand posture estimation using a new sensing glove.
This work reports the design, realization and testing of a wearable kinesthetic glove realized with knitted piezo-resistive fabric (KPF) sensor technology.
First of all, it has been set up and configured a PCB (printed circuit board) to realize the analog front-end of the device.
The sensing glove is conceived to capture hand movement and gesture by using KPF in a double layer configuration working as angular sensors (electro-goniometers).
It is realized with five KPF goniometers used to track flexion-extension and adduction-abduction movements of different joints of thumb, middle, ring and pinkie fingers, according to an optimal design based on postural synergies.
